Shanklin is outside our regular coverage, so visits and projects here are by arrangement: we confirm whether we can take the job, and agree any travel costs, before the first visit.
What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Shanklin?
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 Shanklin?
Planning for a rear extension in Shanklin 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. 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 Shanklin like to extend?
Commuter semis and detached houses make up much of Shanklin, and longer gardens make England's prior approval route for deeper rear extensions worth considering.

FAQ
Rear extension planning drawings questions in Shanklin
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.
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.
Do neighbours get consulted?
Yes for a full application: the council writes to them or puts up a site notice.
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 you match the brick or stone on my Shanklin house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Do you handle building control in Shanklin?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
