What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Glenfield?
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. These are guide ranges; the written quote after the survey is the figure that counts.
Do you need planning permission for a rear extension in Glenfield?
Planning for a rear extension in Glenfield 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 Glenfield like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and semis are typical of Glenfield. Coal-mining legacy areas in parts of the East Midlands can need a Coal Authority check before foundations are designed. Planning applications in Glenfield go to the local planning authority covering Glenfield, and we check its local design guidance for rear extensions before drawing.
