Permitted development rear extensions in Lincolnshire
Designing to the no-application limits, with a lawful development certificate as proof. Across Lincolnshire we handle the whole rear extension: survey, drawings, the planning route, building control and the build. Towns we cover here include Lincoln, Grimsby and Scunthorpe.
Red-brick terraces and semis are typical of Lincolnshire. Coal-mining legacy areas in parts of the East Midlands can need a Coal Authority check before foundations are designed.
How much does a permitted development rear extension cost in Lincolnshire?
Guide prices for a permitted development rear extension in Lincolnshire start from our East Midlands rate of £1,840–£3,010 per square metre, including VAT. East Midlands prices sit a little below our West Midlands baseline.
| Size | Guide price inc VAT |

| 4 m wide × 6 m deep (24 m²) | £44,000–£72,000 |
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 in Lincolnshire?
Under England's householder permitted development rules you can usually add 3 metres at the back of an attached house, or 4 metres on a detached house, without a planning application, as long as the extension stays under 4 metres high and its eaves stay under 3 metres where it is within 2 metres of a boundary.
England's rules allow a rear extension of more than one storey without an application only when it is no deeper than 3 metres and at least 7 metres from the boundary opposite the rear wall, and never on designated land. Most two-storey schemes need householder planning permission.
Conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads restrict permitted development, and listed buildings always need listed building consent.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Is permitted development the same as planning permission?
No; it is a national grant of permission for work within set limits, so no application is needed.
Do I still need Building Regulations?
Yes, always.
Can my neighbours object?
Not to permitted development itself, though they can ask the council to check it complies. Prior approval does involve neighbour consultation.
Do you cover all of Lincolnshire?
We cover 17 towns and districts in Lincolnshire, including Lincoln, Grimsby and Scunthorpe.
