How much does a two-storey rear extension cost in Huddersfield?
For Huddersfield we work from the Yorkshire and the Humber rate: £1,670–£2,510 per square metre of new floor, including VAT, standard specification. Yorkshire prices sit below our West Midlands baseline; matching natural stone is the main variable.

| 4 m × 6 m footprint, two floors (48 m²) | £80,500–£120,500 |
We put a fixed price in writing once the design is agreed, and explain any provisional sums such as foundations.
Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Huddersfield?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a two-storey rear extension in Huddersfield.
A two-storey rear extension can be permitted development in England only if it projects no more than 3 metres, stays at least 7 metres from the rear boundary, matches the existing roof pitch and has obscure-glazed upper side windows. In practice most double-storey rear extensions go through a householder planning application.
Conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads restrict permitted development, and listed buildings always need listed building consent. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
What are homes in Huddersfield like to extend?
Stone terraces and brick semis are typical of Huddersfield. Matching sandstone or gritstone on a terrace is one of the biggest cost variables, and reclaimed stone is often the best match.

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Huddersfield
Do you handle building control in Huddersfield?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
Do I need a party wall agreement?
In England, usually yes if the extension is on or near a shared boundary or the foundations are close to a neighbour's building. We serve the notices.
Can it be built on a terraced house?
Sometimes, but the upper floor is harder to get through planning on a terrace because of the effect on neighbours. A single-storey extension with a loft conversion is often an easier route.
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
Who will build my extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Huddersfield?
Often not for a single-storey rear extension of up to 3 metres (4 metres on a detached house) under permitted development, or up to 6 or 8 metres with prior approval, unless the house is in a conservation area or its rights have been removed.
