What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Notting 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. 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 Notting Hill?
Whether your rear extension in Notting Hill needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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 Notting Hill like to extend?
Much of Notting 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.
