Single-storey rear extension in Stone
Ground-floor space across the back of the house, usually for a kitchen, dining or family room. We design, get the approvals for and build single-storey rear extensions in Stone and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
We cover Stone (ST15) as part of our Staffordshire work. A depth of 3 to 4 metres keeps many single-storey rear extensions in Stone within permitted development, subject to the house's planning history.

Do you need planning permission for a single-storey rear extension in Stone?
The planning route for a single-storey rear extension in Stone is set by England's householder rules and your council.
In England a single-storey rear extension can often be built under permitted development: up to 3 metres beyond the original rear wall of an attached house, or 4 metres on a detached house, no higher than 4 metres, with eaves no higher than 3 metres if any part is within 2 metres of a boundary.
If 3 or 4 metres is not enough, England's prior approval route allows 6 metres on a terraced or semi-detached house and 8 metres on a detached house for a single-storey rear extension. Neighbours are consulted, the council decides within 42 days, and the fee is £249, rising to £310 from 8 December 2026.
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 Stone like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Stone. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.

FAQ
Single-storey rear extension questions in Stone
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Stone?
Often not for a single-storey rear extension of up to 3 metres (4 metres on a detached house) under permitted development, or up to 6 or 8 metres with prior approval, unless the house is in a conservation area or its rights have been removed.
Do I need a party wall agreement?
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.
Does it add value to the house?
Nationwide's October 2025 house price research found that a 10% increase in floor area is linked to about 5% higher value on average. It is a guide, not a promise; local agents can tell you what extended homes on your street sell for.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Stone house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Stone?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
