Rear extension planning drawings in Oakham

What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Oakham?

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 Oakham?

Here is how the rules in England apply to a rear extension in Oakham.

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. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development, prior approval or a planning application.

What are homes in Oakham like to extend?

Red-brick terraces and semis are typical of Oakham. Coal-mining legacy areas in parts of the East Midlands can need a Coal Authority check before foundations are designed.

How a rear extension in Oakham comes together

1. Survey visit

   We visit free of charge, measure up, check access, drainage and neighbours' extensions, and note what you want the room to do.

2. Options and costs

   We draw layout options and price each one, so the budget shapes the design rather than surprising you later.

3. Paperwork handled

   Planning, prior approval or permitted development, Building Regulations approval, structural design and party wall notices are all handled by us.

4. Fixed price and build

   A written price for the agreed design, a start date and a named contact through the build, ending with the building control completion certificate.
