What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Kidsgrove?

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 Kidsgrove?

Planning for a rear extension in Kidsgrove follows the English householder rules.

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. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development, prior approval or a planning application.

What are homes in Kidsgrove like to extend?

Kidsgrove has a lot of post-war semis and estate houses with long gardens and side access, which makes rear extensions quicker to build.

    We visit free of charge, measure up, check access, drainage and neighbours' extensions, and note what you want the room to do.

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

  3. Approvals
