What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Kidbrooke?

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 Kidbrooke?

Planning for a rear extension in Kidbrooke follows the English householder rules.

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. 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 Kidbrooke like to extend?

Much of Kidbrooke is Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing with narrow back additions, which suits side returns, wraparounds and 3 metre rear extensions. Many streets are in conservation areas, gardens are short, and almost everything comes through the house or along a rear alley.

How a rear extension in Kidbrooke comes together

  1. Free site visit

    We measure the house and garden, look at the back wall, drainage and boundaries, and talk through what you want from the space.

  2. Options and costs

    We draw layout options and price each one, so the budget shapes the design rather than surprising you later.

  3. Planning and regulations

    We take the design through the right planning route, then produce the construction drawings and engineer's calculations for building control.

  4. Build and sign-off

    We build to the approved drawings with regular updates, then hand over the building control completion certificate and any guarantees from suppliers.
