Rear extension plans and planning applications in Herefordshire
Measured survey, design options, planning drawings and the application, handled for you. Rear extensions in Herefordshire: we cover 4 towns including Hereford, Leominster and Ross on Wye, with design, approvals and the build under one contract.
For Hereford homes we start with a measured survey, then draw options before anything is submitted. Herefordshire has a lot of post-war semis and estate houses with long gardens and side access, which makes rear extensions quicker to build.
What does it cost in Herefordshire?
As a guide, £1,000–£2,500 including VAT. These are guide ranges; the written quote after the survey is the figure that counts.
Do you need planning permission in Herefordshire?
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.
Conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads restrict permitted development, and listed buildings always need listed building consent.
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.
Councils aim to decide householder applications within 8 weeks of validation, and prior approval within 42 days.
