What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Ponteland?

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. Ground conditions, glazing, the roof and how far the house is opened up move the final figure within the range.

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

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

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 Ponteland like to extend?

Terraces and semis are typical around Ponteland. 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 Ponteland 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. 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.

FAQ

Rear extension planning drawings questions in Ponteland

What postcode areas do you cover around Ponteland?

Including NE20, and the surrounding Northumberland area.

Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Ponteland?

Often not for a single-storey rear extension of up to 3 metres (4 metres on a detached house) under permitted development, or up to 6 or 8 metres with prior approval, unless the house is in a conservation area or its rights have been removed.

Are the drawings mine?

You can use them to get other quotes, subject to the terms.

Who will build my extension?

Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.

Will I need a structural engineer?

Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.

Can I live at home while the extension is built?

Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
