Homes in the East Midlands

Across the East Midlands you find everything from city terraces to modern estates and stone villages, so the right extension depends a lot on the street and the materials around it.

What is a double-storey extension?

Two-storey work has to sit comfortably with the house and the neighbours, so most of the design effort goes into the roofline, window positions and how the new first floor connects to the landing. We handle the planning application, the structural design and the building control process, then build, roof and finish both floors.

  • Measured survey, design and planning drawings
  • Householder planning application
  • Structural engineer’s design and calculations

Do you need permission for a double-storey extension in Cleethorpes?

In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it applies.

Two-storey rear extensions can sometimes be permitted development in England (no more than 3 m deep, at least 7 m from the rear boundary, roof pitch to match), but most two-storey and all two-storey side extensions need householder planning permission. Expect around eight weeks for a decision once the application is validated.

What can change the price or programme?

  • Side extensions close to a boundary are often set back or stepped down so they do not create a terraced effect.
  • Neighbours’ light is assessed using the 45-degree guide many councils use.
