What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Darras Hall?
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 Darras Hall?
Planning for a rear extension in Darras Hall follows the English householder rules.
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 Darras Hall like to extend?
Brick terraces, colliery houses and post-war semis make up much of Darras Hall. Former mining areas often need a coal mining risk check before foundations are designed.
