What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Nelson?
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. Planning fees in Wales are set by the Welsh Government; we confirm the current householder fee when we prepare the application. 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 Nelson?
The planning route for a rear extension in Nelson is set by Wales's householder rules and your council.
In Wales a rear extension of more than one storey can be permitted development if the ground floor projects no more than 4 metres and the upper floor no more than 3 metres, with at least 10.5 metres to the rear boundary. It is not permitted development in conservation areas, National Parks or National Landscapes, so many double-storey schemes need a householder application.
Welsh councils aim to decide householder applications within 8 weeks.
Conservation areas, National Parks and National Landscapes restrict permitted development in Wales, and listed buildings 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 Nelson like to extend?
Stone terraces along the valley floors and post-war semis higher up are typical of Nelson. Sloping sites are common, so floor levels and retaining walls are designed at the start.
