Rear extension planning drawings in Walsall

What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Walsall?

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 Walsall?

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

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. 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 Walsall like to extend?

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

How a rear extension in Walsall 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. Approvals

   Permitted development check, prior approval or planning application, then Building Regulations drawings and structural calculations, plus party wall notices where they apply.

4. Written price, then build

   Once the design and approvals are in place, you get a fixed written price and programme, and we build through to sign-off.
