Rear extension planning drawings in Lower Earley

What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Lower Earley?

As a guide, £1,000–£2,500 including VAT for a single-storey rear extension, or £2,000–£3,500 for a two-storey scheme. A householder planning application in England costs £548 (£575 for applications made from 8 December 2026), and a lawful development certificate for proposed work costs half the householder fee. 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 rear extension in Lower Earley?

The planning route for a rear extension in Lower Earley is set by England's householder rules and your council.

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.

Councils aim to decide householder applications within 8 weeks of validation, and prior approval within 42 days.

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 Lower Earley like to extend?

Commuter semis and detached houses make up much of Lower Earley, and longer gardens make England's prior approval route for deeper rear extensions worth considering.

How a rear extension in Lower Earley comes together

1. Survey visit

   We visit free of charge, measure up, check access, drainage and neighbours' extensions, and note what you want the room to do.

2. Drawings and budget

   Floor plans and elevations for the options, each with a guide price.

3. Planning and regulations

   We take the design through the right planning route, then produce the construction drawings and engineer's calculations for building control.

4. Build and sign-off

   We build to the approved drawings with regular updates, then hand over the building control completion certificate and any guarantees from suppliers.
