Rear extension planning drawings in Wembley

For homes in Wembley, a rear extension is often the simplest way to gain space without moving. Measured survey, design options, planning drawings and the application, handled for you. We take it from survey to completion certificate.

We cover Wembley (HA0, HA9 and UB6) as part of our Greater London work. For Wembley homes we start with a measured survey, then draw options before anything is submitted.

What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Wembley?

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 Wembley?

Planning for a rear extension in Wembley 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. 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 Wembley like to extend?

Much of Wembley is 1920s and 1930s semis and short terraces with longer gardens than inner London, which suit full-width single-storey rear extensions. Parking suspensions, skip licences and controlled hours on residential streets shape the programme more than the build itself.

How a rear extension in Wembley comes together

  1. Survey visit

    We visit free of charge, measure up, check access, drainage and neighbours' extensions, and note what you want the room to do.

  2. Options and costs

    We draw layout options and price each one, so the budget shapes the design rather than surprising you later.

  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.
