What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Pelsall?
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 Pelsall?
The planning route for a rear extension in Pelsall is set by England's householder rules and your council.
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. 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 Pelsall like to extend?
Pelsall has a lot of post-war semis and estate houses with long gardens and side access, which makes rear extensions quicker to build.

Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Pelsall house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Can planning conditions affect the build?
Yes, for example matching materials or obscure glazing. We plan for them.
Is the site visit in Pelsall free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Do you handle building control in Pelsall?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.

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.
