Rear extension plans and planning applications in the Isle of Wight
Measured survey, design options, planning drawings and the application, handled for you. Rear extensions in the Isle of Wight: we cover 6 towns including Newport, Ryde and Cowes, with design, approvals and the build under one contract.
Island and remote addresses in the Isle of Wight are by arrangement: we confirm whether we can take the job, and agree any travel costs, before the first visit.
Rear extension applications in the Isle of Wight are householder applications, which councils aim to decide within about eight weeks. Commuter semis and detached houses make up much of the Isle of Wight, and longer gardens make England's prior approval route for deeper rear extensions worth considering.
What does it cost in the Isle of Wight?
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 the Isle of Wight?
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.
