Double Storey Extension Plans for your London property

DOUBLE STOREY EXTENSION PLANS

If your London home seems constantly short of space, then having a double storey extension fitted is an option. Especially appealingly, it won’t be much pricier per square metre than a single storey one, as the most expensive aspects would be catered for in either case.

Expanding your home in this way also enables you to spare the estate agent fees and stamp duty you would incur with a house move. Our Planning Consultants can complete all of the plans you need for your extension.

We can also help you to navigate the potentially tricky journey of seeking planning permission your double storey extension could need.

DOUBLE STOREY EXTENSION PLANNING PERMISSION

The good news is that two storeys are, naturally, more spacious than one. The bad news - or, rather, just the slightly inconvenient news - is that, by dint of its larger size, a double storey extension could more easily require full planning permission.

This isn’t strictly the case in all instances, though. Indeed, in 2020, the UK government loosened its planning rules to ensure that many London residents can now have their properties extended by two storeys without having to obtain that planning permission first. However, as this relaxing of the restrictions applies only to detached homes constructed between 1948 and 2018, the usual need for planning permission could still easily apply in your case.

You can consult with our planning experts to discern whether this need would indeed apply. If it does, we can prepare your application for you. text sample text sample text.

If - as is likely - a Full Plans application has to be submitted for your London double storey extension, we can help to ensure this application is sent - and decided upon within 5 weeks.

With planning consent, building regulations approval and a well-designed architectural plan in place, your double storey extension project can easily proceed.

DOUBLE STOREY EXTENSION
FAQ'S

If you are contemplating having a double storey extension built, here are our answers to various questions that could be playing on your mind.

What are permitted development (PD) rights?

These would let you build an extension without needing full planning permission - but you do need to make sure the extension will meet specific criteria.

Would I still need to notify the council if my extension is covered by permitted development?

Yes, as they must confirm that your project meets the relevant criteria. If they do, you will be given a Lawful Development Letter, but you can start the work before receiving this.

What would be the most expensive elements of a double storey extension?

Those would be its foundations and roofing - but, as you would pay for those with a single storey extension as well, they shouldn’t put you off going for two storeys.

How much more expensive is a double storey extension compared to a single storey one?

If its two storeys are identical in size, the double storey extension will be about 50-75% pricier than a single storey one - but nonetheless be cheaper per square metre.

Overall, how much can I expect to pay for a two-storey extension?

Typically, a basic extension of this type would set you back no less than about £40,000 - but this price will be higher if the extension is set to include a kitchen or bathroom.

Could I just build the extension myself?

In practice, no - as any electrical work must be signed off by a relevant professional, as must any gas, plumbing or structural work your double storey extension in London requires.
