What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Stanford-le-Hope?
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. We put a fixed price in writing once the design is agreed, and explain any provisional sums such as foundations.
Do you need planning permission for a rear extension in Stanford-le-Hope?
The planning route for a rear extension in Stanford-le-Hope 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. 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 Stanford-le-Hope like to extend?
Stanford-le-Hope mixes Victorian terraces with 1930s semis, so both side returns and full-width kitchen extensions suit houses here.

FAQ
Rear extension planning drawings questions in Stanford-le-Hope
Who will build my extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Stanford-le-Hope 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 an architect?
You need accurate drawings by someone who knows householder planning; we provide them.
Do you handle building control in Stanford-le-Hope?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
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.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Stanford-le-Hope?
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.
