Rear extension planning drawings in Canford Heath

What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Canford Heath?

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 Canford Heath?

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

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. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development, prior approval or a planning application.

What are homes in Canford Heath like to extend?

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