Rear extension planning drawings in Skegness

What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Skegness?

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. Your written price follows a measured survey and an agreed design, so it reflects your house, not an average.

Do you need planning permission for a rear extension in Skegness?

Whether your rear extension in Skegness needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.

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. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.

What are homes in Skegness like to extend?

Skegness has plenty of inter-war semis and bungalows, and single-storey rear extensions suit both.

How a rear extension in Skegness comes together

1. Free site visit

   We measure the house and garden, look at the back wall, drainage and boundaries, and talk through what you want from the space.

2. Options and costs

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

3. Planning and regulations

   We take the design through the right planning route, then produce the construction drawings and engineer's calculations for building control.

4. Build and sign-off

   We build to the approved drawings with regular updates, then hand over the building control completion certificate and any guarantees from suppliers.
