What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Ewell?

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 Ewell?

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

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 Ewell like to extend?

Ewell has a mix of Victorian terraces near the centre and larger Edwardian and inter-war houses further out. Clay soils across much of the South East mean deeper foundations near trees, which we plan for at the survey.

FAQ

Rear extension planning drawings questions in Ewell

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.

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.

Do I need an architect?

You need accurate drawings by someone who knows householder planning; we provide them.

Can you match the brick or stone on my Ewell house?

We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.

How long does a rear extension take to build in Ewell?

Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
