Adding a two storey extension requires careful navigation. Planning requirements must be met. Our team handles the complete planning process. We work with local planning authorities. We go from initial application to full planning permission.

Types of Double Storey Extensions vs Single Storey Options

When considering a two storey extension, many homeowners compare options. They look at types of double storey extensions. They compare these to single storey extension alternatives. A storey extension can vary significantly in complexity. Requirements differ compared to one storey projects.

Double Storey Extension Cost vs Single Storey:

• Two storey extension projects typically cost more upfront. But they provide better value per sqm.
• Single storey extension work often qualifies for permitted development rights.
• Double storey house extension projects usually require approval. Local planning authorities handle this.

Space Benefits:

• A two storey extension creates space on both floors. Ground and first floors both benefit. This compares well to a single storey.
• Single storey extensions maximise garden retention. But they limit vertical space.
• Double storey house extensions work well for growing families. Multiple rooms are needed.

Double Storey Rear Extension Options

A double storey rear extension is the most popular choice. Terraced house properties suit this approach. These storey rear extensions typically extend 6-8 metres. They start from the original house. They create substantial additional living space. Double storey rear extensions work particularly well. You need to maximise space while maintaining garden access.

Key Considerations for Double Storey Rear Extensions:

• Planning rules limit how far your storey extension can project. It starts from the original house.
• The extension comes within two metres of any boundary. This requires careful design.
• Double storey rear extension work must consider neighbour impact. Approval from planning authorities is needed.

Design Features:

• Ground floor: open-plan kitchen-dining areas with garden access
• First floor: bedroom suites or home office spaces
• Seamless integration with the original house character

Double Storey Side Extension Solutions

A double storey side extension works well for detached properties. Side access is needed. These extensions maximise narrow plots. They create significant additional space for the existing house. When you build a two-storey extension on the side of your property, this approach suits properties. Adequate side space is required.

Planning Considerations:

• Double storey side extension work often faces the “two-storey rule” restrictions. Local planning authorities set these.
• The extension must not exceed specific proportions. Neighbouring properties are compared.
• Planning approval depends on maintaining adequate spacing. This is from the original house.

Design Benefits:

• Creates wider room layouts on both floors
• Allows for larger kitchen-dining areas downstairs
• Provides additional bedrooms or bathrooms upstairs

A double storey side extension typically requires planning permission. This is due to its visual impact. The street scene matters. Neighbouring properties are affected.
