Rear extension planning drawings in North Shields

What do rear extension planning drawings cost in North Shields?

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 North Shields?

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

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 North Shields like to extend?

Terraces and semis are typical around North Shields. On terraces a single-storey rear extension across the back yard is usually the practical choice; semis often have room for more.

How a rear extension in North Shields 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. Fixed price and build

   A written price for the agreed design, a start date and a named contact through the build, ending with the building control completion certificate.
