What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Uxbridge?

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 Uxbridge?

Planning for a rear extension in Uxbridge 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 Uxbridge like to extend?

Uxbridge is mostly 1930s semis, short terraces and post-war houses, so full-width single-storey and two-storey rear extensions are realistic on many plots. Some later estates had permitted development rights removed by condition, so we check the planning history first.

How a rear extension in Uxbridge 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. Design and guide price

    Two or three layout options with a guide price for each, so you choose the design knowing what it costs.

  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. 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.

FAQ

Rear extension planning drawings questions in Uxbridge

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.

Can you match the brick or stone on my Uxbridge house?

We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.

Do neighbours get consulted?

Yes for a full application: the council writes to them or puts up a site notice.

What postcode areas do you cover around Uxbridge?

Including UB8, UB10 and UB11, and the surrounding Greater London area.

Can I live at home while the extension is built?

Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.

How long does a rear extension take to build in Uxbridge?

Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
