What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Clevedon?
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 Clevedon?
The planning route for a rear extension in Clevedon is set by England's householder rules and your council.
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 Clevedon like to extend?
Stone-built and rendered houses are common around Clevedon, so matching the walling is a design decision in its own right: natural stone, reconstituted stone or a render finish across old and new.
How a rear extension in Clevedon comes together
Survey visit
We visit free of charge, measure up, check access, drainage and neighbours' extensions, and note what you want the room to do.
Design and guide price
Two or three layout options with a guide price for each, so you choose the design knowing what it costs.
Planning and regulations
We take the design through the right planning route, then produce the construction drawings and engineer's calculations for building control.
Written price, then build
Once the design and approvals are in place, you get a fixed written price and programme, and we build through to sign-off.

FAQ
Rear extension planning drawings questions in Clevedon
How long does a rear extension take to build in Clevedon?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
Do I need a party wall agreement?
In England, usually yes if the extension is on or near a shared boundary or the foundations are close to a neighbour's building. We serve the notices.
Can planning conditions affect the build?
Yes, for example matching materials or obscure glazing. We plan for them.
Is the site visit in Clevedon free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
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.
