What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Yatton?

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. We put a fixed price in writing once the design is agreed, and explain any provisional sums such as foundations.

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

The planning route for a rear extension in Yatton 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. 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 Yatton like to extend?

Stone-built and rendered houses are common around Yatton, so matching the walling is a design decision in its own right: natural stone, reconstituted stone or a render finish across old and new.

Rear extension planning drawings questions in Yatton

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.

Can I get a price without a visit?

What if planning is refused?

We review the reasons with you, amend and resubmit (often free of a second fee within 12 months in England) or appeal.

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.

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.
