What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Bolsover?
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 Bolsover?
The planning route for a rear extension in Bolsover is set by England's householder rules and your council.
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 Bolsover like to extend?
Bolsover has plenty of inter-war semis and bungalows, and single-storey rear extensions suit both.
