Do I need planning permission for rear extensions

The current trend nowadays is to create extra space in the house by doing a single storey rear extension either with a flat or a pitched roof along with patio doors.

Most houses in the UK have capacity to extend to the rear and every homeowner has a right to extend upto a certain prescribed limit. Depending on the size of the extension, the homeowner may apply for permitted development or Planning permission.Doing a rear extension to your house can be a cost effective way to increase the area of your current home as well as its value.

Testimonials

“I thought that applying for planning permission would be daunting, but PlanB Architecture and Yasmeen made the whole process really easy. They were reliable, arriving at the exact time for their appointment (unlike some other specialists who’ve let me down in the past) and were really friendly. Yasmeen clearly has a detailed understanding of the planning process and how the council approaches issues in practice, which was reassuring and helpful. She wasn’t remotely bothered when I had a last minute change of mind on the design and explained everything clearly. She’s also really responsive to emails. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Yasmeen and PlanB.”
Martin HammondCroydon
“I appointed Plan B Architecture as design and planning application consults on a residential extension project in south London – the project involved complex issues with regards challenges in maximizing space whilst achieving a design that was cost feasible. Plan B provided me with an excellent and efficient service, working to tight time scales, and answering queries immediately. Yasmin was excellent, with accurate advice on design and planning application issues – she possess a wealth of knowledge in respect of planning and residential property design issues, enabled me to save a considerable amount of time and avoid unnecessary costs.
My application was successful, and I have no doubt in believing this was due to the fact that Plan B Architecture represented me as planning and design consultants. I would highly recommend them.
Thanks"

“The Plan-B Architecture team proved extremely responsive, courteous and efficient in dealing with our recent residential house building plans and I have no hesitation in recommending their services. Very good service!” Best Regards
Ann Chapman (Minesoft Ltd), Richmond resident
"After receiving a high quote from another architect, my builder suggested that I use Plan B Architecture instead. The plans for a bathroom/dormer extension were drawn up in less than a week and quickly modified when I changed my ideas. Yasmeen sorted out the building regulations and the planning application efficiently. She kept me informed of all developments. I would certainly recommend Plan B and use them again." “I would like to say that I was very impressed with your prompt response and site visit. I felt very reassured by your initial assessment and knowledge after having received negative feedback from neighbours. The drawings appear to be to a high standard and although I am not an architect I found them easy to follow.Many thanks for your help”
Paul and ElkeHounslow
"Contacted Plan B Architecture after our original architect declined to produce Building Regulations drawings for a proposed single storey side extension. From the very first contact, till the notice of the granting of the Building Regulations approval, we have found Yasmeen to be excellent in all respects, highly professional, friendly and a good communicator. We would recommend Plan B Architecture to anyone requiring high quality drawings for Planning Permission and/or Building Regulations approval."
David and Carole CooperSouth Croydon
"Yasmeen and Imtiaz were excellent from start to finish and as well as providing planning and building regulation drawings, they helped successfully guide me through the planning process as a whole for the first time. Their advice was always timely and pragmatic and not only did they clearly explain various options available at a given stage, they would also give their views as to the most appropriate course of action in the circumstances, giving their reasons. They also provided very useful advice to enable me to proceed to the construction stage. I would highly recommend Plan B Architecture."
Christopher Winn (Lambeth)Senior Associate,Dentons
"My husband and I employed the services of Plan B Architecture to draw up plans for a study room extension to our existing property. Having never gone through this process before we were a little apprehensive about the size of the task. However our concerns were alleviated by the professionalism and helpful nature of Yasmeen from Plan B Architecture. When Yasmeen came round to conduct the initial survey she offered very helpful advice which helped us in being able to optimise the utilisation of space for the desired extension.

I would thoroughly recommend the services of Yasmeen and Plan B Architecture. We were extremely impressed by Yasmeen's professionalism and helpful nature"
Jaya & DarrenRoyal Borough of Greenwich
“Contacted Plan B Architecture for a side extension .must say the drawings were of high quality and good value for money as I was quoted twice the amount by other architects for the same work.I dealt with Yasmeen and she was very helpful and attentive to our needs.We got the planning permission in the end .I would be pleased to reccomend them to my friends.Very good value for money ".
E.Watson Thornton Heath
“We used Plan B Architecture to get us through planning and building regulations for our planned single storey extension. We knew what we wanted but could not give the planning authorities the drawings and detail they needed for application. We were in a fix . We called in Plan B and they provided soft copies of the application drawings within two weeks enabling us to proceed with planning application. They also did all the building regulations work and completed the whole design process in two months - 1 month quicker than estimated. I would have no hesitation in using their services again and reccomending them to all- they are fast and efficient."

Yasmeen and Imtiaz were of great help for our ground floor extension and dormer project. They assisted us across the board with architectural and planning drawings, planning permission and the structural report. They have great attention to detail, were very responsive, gave some great design suggestions, and were able to helpfully answer any questions we had throughout the whole process. Very professional - would highly recommend.

I cannot say enough about how high the quality of work and professionalism I experienced with this company. The communication was excellent throughout and I hardly had to do anything when I opted for their full package - right through to the plans being approved. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Yasmeen and her team demonstrated their ability by immediately understanding a complicated planning issue. Yasmeen was always quick to respond, produced plans within the short time frame she promised and was, generally, everything I could have hoped for. I would highly recomend her and her team.

I contacted Plan B Architecture regarding plans for a house conversion. Yasmeen drew up the plans and provided valuable guidance and advice on applying for planning permission in Lambeth. I was amazed by the attention to detail and how I was regularly updated on the progress of the application. I would definitely contact Yasmeen again if I required any architectural services.
