What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Roehampton?

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 Roehampton?

Planning for a rear extension in Roehampton 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. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.

What are homes in Roehampton like to extend?

Much of Roehampton 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.

Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
