What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Hale?

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. These are guide ranges; the written quote after the survey is the figure that counts.

Do you need planning permission for a rear extension in Hale?

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

Stone and brick terraces are common around Hale. Where houses back onto a ginnel or alley, deliveries can come in from the rear, which makes the build tidier.

How a rear extension in Hale 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. Build and sign-off

    We build to the approved drawings with regular updates, then hand over the building control completion certificate and any guarantees from suppliers.

FAQ

Rear extension planning drawings questions in Hale

Who will build my extension?

Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.

What postcode areas do you cover around Hale?

Including M33, WA14 and WA15, and the surrounding Greater Manchester area.

Can planning conditions affect the build?

Yes, for example matching materials or obscure glazing. We plan for them.

Do I need a party wall agreement?

In England, usually yes if the extension is on or near a shared boundary or the foundations are close to a neighbour's building. We serve the notices.

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

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

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.
