What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Emerson Park?
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 Emerson Park?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a rear extension in Emerson Park.
England's rules allow a rear extension of more than one storey without an application only when it is no deeper than 3 metres and at least 7 metres from the boundary opposite the rear wall, and never on designated land. Most two-storey schemes need householder planning permission.
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 Emerson Park like to extend?
Emerson Park is mostly 1930s semis, short terraces and post-war houses, so full-width single-storey and two-storey rear extensions are realistic on many plots. Some later estates had permitted development rights removed by condition, so we check the planning history first.

FAQ
Rear extension planning drawings questions in Emerson Park
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.
Is the site visit in Emerson Park free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Can planning conditions affect the build?
Yes, for example matching materials or obscure glazing. We plan for them.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Emerson Park house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
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 I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
