What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Brierfield?

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 Brierfield?

The planning route for a rear extension in Brierfield is set by England's householder rules and your council.

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 Brierfield like to extend?

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

FAQ

Rear extension planning drawings questions in Brierfield

Is the site visit in Brierfield free?

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

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.

What if planning is refused?

We review the reasons with you, amend and resubmit (often free of a second fee within 12 months in England) or appeal.

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.

How long does a rear extension take to build in Brierfield?

Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.

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.
