Permitted development rear extensions in Shropshire
Designing to the no-application limits, with a lawful development certificate as proof. We design and build rear extensions across Shropshire, from Telford and Shrewsbury to Wellington, covering single-storey kitchen extensions, two-storey additions, side returns and wraparounds.
Shropshire has a lot of post-war semis and estate houses with long gardens and side access, which makes rear extensions quicker to build.
How much does a permitted development rear extension cost in Shropshire?
For Shropshire we work from the West Midlands rate: £1,900–£3,100 per square metre of new floor, including VAT, standard specification. The West Midlands is the baseline for our guide prices.
| Size | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²) | £23,000–£37,000 |
| 4 m wide × 5 m deep (20 m²) | £38,000–£62,000 |
| 4 m wide × 6 m deep (24 m²) | £45,500–£74,500 |
Your written price follows a measured survey and an agreed design, so it reflects your house, not an average.
Do you need planning permission in Shropshire?
In England a single-storey rear extension can often be built under permitted development: up to 3 metres beyond the original rear wall of an attached house, or 4 metres on a detached house, no higher than 4 metres, with eaves no higher than 3 metres if any part is within 2 metres of a boundary.
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.

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 Shropshire?
We cover 10 towns and districts in Shropshire, including Telford, Shrewsbury and Wellington.
