What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Heanor?
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 Heanor?
The planning route for a rear extension in Heanor 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. 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 Heanor like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and semis are typical of Heanor. Coal-mining legacy areas in parts of the East Midlands can need a Coal Authority check before foundations are designed.

FAQ
Rear extension planning drawings questions in Heanor
Can you match the brick or stone on my Heanor house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Heanor?
Often not for a single-storey rear extension of up to 3 metres (4 metres on a detached house) under permitted development, or up to 6 or 8 metres with prior approval, unless the house is in a conservation area or its rights have been removed.
Can I see the design in 3D?
Yes; we produce simple 3D views so you can judge the size and light.
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 do rear extension planning drawings cost in Heanor?
As a guide, £1,000–£2,500 including VAT for a single-storey rear extension and £2,000–£3,500 for a two-storey scheme, covering the measured survey, design options and the application. The council fee is extra.

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