What do rear extension planning drawings cost in St Ann's?

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 St Ann's?

Planning for a rear extension in St Ann's 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. 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 St Ann's like to extend?

Much of St Ann's 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.

FAQ

Rear extension planning drawings questions in St Ann's

Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in St Ann's?

Often not for a single-storey rear extension of up to 3 metres (4 metres on a detached house) under permitted development, or up to 6 or 8 metres with prior approval, unless the house is in a conservation area or its rights have been removed.

What postcode areas do you cover around St Ann's?

Including N4, N8 and N15, and the surrounding Greater London area.

Are the drawings mine?

You can use them to get other quotes, subject to the terms.

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 St Ann's free?

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

Will I need a structural engineer?

Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
