What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Poynton?
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. These are guide ranges; the written quote after the survey is the figure that counts.
Do you need planning permission for a rear extension in Poynton?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a rear extension in Poynton.
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.
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 Poynton like to extend?
Poynton has long runs of terraced houses with back yards and alleys, plus 1930s semis further out. Yard extensions on terraces are often single-storey and close to both boundaries.
