What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Irlam?

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 Irlam?

Here is how the rules in England apply to a rear extension in Irlam.

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. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.

What are homes in Irlam like to extend?

Stone and brick terraces are common around Irlam. 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 Irlam comes together

  1. Look round and measure

    A free visit to see the back of the house, measure it, check the drains and boundaries and hear what you need.

  2. Options and costs

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

  3. Approvals

    Permitted development check, prior approval or planning application, then Building Regulations drawings and structural calculations, plus party wall notices where they apply.

  4. Fixed price and build

    A written price for the agreed design, a start date and a named contact through the build, ending with the building control completion certificate.

FAQ

Rear extension planning drawings questions in Irlam

Can I get a price without a visit?

Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.

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.

Can I see the design in 3D?

Yes; we produce simple 3D views so you can judge the size and light.

What postcode areas do you cover around Irlam?

Including M44, and the surrounding Greater Manchester area.

Is the site visit in Irlam free?

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

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

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