What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Camborne?

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. Your written price follows a measured survey and an agreed design, so it reflects your house, not an average.

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

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

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. 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 Camborne like to extend?

Stone-built and rendered houses are common around Camborne, so matching the walling is a design decision in its own right: natural stone, reconstituted stone or a render finish across old and new.

How a rear extension in Camborne comes together

  1. Look round and measure

    A free visit to see the back of the house, measure it, check the drains and boundaries and hear what you need.

  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. Written price, then build

    Once the design and approvals are in place, you get a fixed written price and programme, and we build through to sign-off.

FAQ

Rear extension planning drawings questions in Camborne

Will I need a structural engineer?

Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.

What postcode areas do you cover around Camborne?

Including TR14, and the surrounding Cornwall area.

Do neighbours get consulted?

Yes for a full application: the council writes to them or puts up a site notice.

Can you match the brick or stone on my Camborne house?

We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.

Is the site visit in Camborne free?

Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.

Can I live at home while the extension is built?

Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
