What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Maida Hill?
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 Maida Hill?
Planning for a rear extension in Maida Hill follows the English householder rules.
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 Maida Hill like to extend?
Much of Maida Hill 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 Maida Hill comes together
Survey visit
We visit free of charge, measure up, check access, drainage and neighbours' extensions, and note what you want the room to do.
Options and costs
We draw layout options and price each one, so the budget shapes the design rather than surprising you later.
Planning and regulations
We take the design through the right planning route, then produce the construction drawings and engineer's calculations for building control.
Written price, then build
Once the design and approvals are in place, you get a fixed written price and programme, and we build through to sign-off.
