Rear extension planning drawings in Great Bookham

What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Great Bookham?

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. 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 Great Bookham?

Planning for a rear extension in Great Bookham 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 Great Bookham like to extend?

Around Great Bookham the housing ranges from inter-war semis to 1960s and 1970s estates with good-sized gardens. Many of the newer estates had permitted development rights removed by condition, so we check the planning history before anything is drawn.

How a rear extension in Great Bookham comes together

1. Survey visit

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

2. Design and guide price

   Two or three layout options with a guide price for each, so you choose the design knowing what it costs.

3. Planning and regulations

   We take the design through the right planning route, then produce the construction drawings and engineer's calculations for building control.

4. Build and sign-off

   We build to the approved drawings with regular updates, then hand over the building control completion certificate and any guarantees from suppliers.
