Rear extension planning drawings in Macclesfield

What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Macclesfield?

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. Ground conditions, glazing, the roof and how far the house is opened up move the final figure within the range.

Do you need planning permission for a rear extension in Macclesfield?

Here is how the rules in England apply to a rear extension in Macclesfield.

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. 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 Macclesfield like to extend?

Stone and brick terraces are common around Macclesfield. Where houses back onto a ginnel or alley, deliveries can come in from the rear, which makes the build tidier.

How a rear extension in Macclesfield comes together

1. Free site visit

   We measure the house and garden, look at the back wall, drainage and boundaries, and talk through what you want from the space.

2. Options and costs

   We draw layout options and price each one, so the budget shapes the design rather than surprising you later.

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.
