What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Cheadle?

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. Your written price follows a measured survey and an agreed design, so it reflects your house, not an average.

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

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

England's rules allow a rear extension of more than one storey without an application only when it is no deeper than 3 metres and at least 7 metres from the boundary opposite the rear wall, and never on designated land. Most two-storey schemes need householder planning permission.

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 Cheadle like to extend?

Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Cheadle. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.

How a rear extension in Cheadle 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. Drawings and budget

    Floor plans and elevations for the options, each with a guide price.

  3. Approvals

    Permitted development check, prior approval or planning application, then Building Regulations drawings and structural calculations, plus party wall notices where they apply.

  4. 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 Cheadle

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.

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.
