Rear extension planning drawings in Chippenham

What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Chippenham?

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 Chippenham?

Whether your rear extension in Chippenham needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.

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 Chippenham like to extend?

Stone-built and rendered houses are common around Chippenham, so matching the walling is a design decision in its own right: natural stone, reconstituted stone or a render finish across old and new.
