Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Rastrick?
Whether your two-storey rear extension in Rastrick needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.
What are homes in Rastrick like to extend?
Stone terraces and brick semis are typical of Rastrick. 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 Rastrick
Do you handle building control in Rastrick?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Rastrick?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.

Almost always. England and Northern Ireland allow 3 metres without an application only if at least 7 metres remains to the rear boundary; Wales and Scotland are similar or stricter.
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.

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.
