What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Guisborough?

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 Guisborough?

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

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 Guisborough like to extend?

Terraces and semis are typical around Guisborough. On terraces a single-storey rear extension across the back yard is usually the practical choice; semis often have room for more.

How a rear extension in Guisborough comes together

  1. Look round and measure

    A free visit to see the back of the house, measure it, check the drains and boundaries and hear what you need.

  2. Options and costs

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

  3. Approvals

    Permitted development check, prior approval or planning application, then Building Regulations drawings and structural calculations, plus party wall notices where they apply.

  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.
