What does it cost in Bristol and South Gloucestershire?
As a guide, £1,000–£2,500 including VAT. 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 Bristol and South Gloucestershire?
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.
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.
Councils aim to decide householder applications within 8 weeks of validation, and prior approval within 42 days.
