How Much Do Single Storey Extension Plans Cost?
Single storey extension plans typically cost between £1,200 and £2,500. This price can vary depending on factors such as the size and complexity of the design, as well as any unique features you wish to incorporate.
For instance, an open-plan living space or bi-fold doors can increase the design intricacy. The location of your property and local planning requirements, including compliance with building regulations and potential conservation area restrictions, can also influence costs.
We consider additional elements like the use of sustainable materials or the incorporation of smart home technologies, which can further impact the budget. Our team uses Building Information Modelling (BIM) software to enhance precision in design.

What Types of Single Storey Extensions Are Available?
There are several types of single storey extensions available, each suited to different needs and property styles. Our team helps you explore the following options through careful analysis of your property's layout and existing architectural style:
Rear Extensions: Add space at the back of your house, ideal for open-plan living areas. These extensions can incorporate large bi-fold doors and skylights to enhance natural light, creating bright and airy spaces.
Side Return Extensions: Use the narrow space alongside semi-detached or terrace houses. By extending into this often underused space, you can transform a kitchen or dining area to better suit modern living needs.
Wraparound Extensions: Combine rear and side extensions for maximum space and flexibility. This option allows for a larger footprint, accommodating multiple areas such as a new kitchen-diner or family room, while maintaining a coherent design.
We also ensure that all extensions comply with local building regulations, taking into account energy efficiency and structural integrity. Let us help you select the perfect extension style for your property.
How Long Do Single Storey Extension Plans Take to Develop?
Developing single storey extension plans typically takes four to six weeks. During this period, we begin with a thorough site assessment to understand the existing conditions and identify any potential challenges.
This includes measurements, utility considerations, and environmental factors. Following the site assessment, our team conducts initial consultations with you to discuss your preferences and requirements, ensuring the design reflects your desired functionality and aesthetics.
After these consultations, we create detailed architectural drawings, incorporating structural specifications and building materials. We also ensure that the plans comply with relevant local building codes and regulations, such as those outlined by the Planning Portal.
This process may extend depending on the project's complexity and your feedback, as adjustments are often made to refine the design.
Our goal is to ensure your plans meet your vision and local building regulations. Start your extension journey by contacting us today.
Do I Need Planning Permission for a Single Storey Extension?
In many cases, single storey extensions do not require planning permission if they fall within permitted development rights. However, specifics can vary based on property size, conservation area status, and the extension's dimensions.
For instance, a rear extension on a detached property is typically permitted up to four metres, while semi-detached and terraced properties allow up to three metres. Additionally, if your home is in a designated conservation area or is a listed building, stricter controls may apply, and full planning permission could be necessary.
We use precise measurements and criteria to assess these factors, ensuring compliance with the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015. We advise you on whether planning permission is necessary for your project and handle applications on your behalf when needed.
Let us navigate the complexities for you.
How Long Do Single Storey Extensions Last?
Single storey extensions are designed to last over 50 years with proper maintenance, meeting the standards set by the Building Regulations approved documents. The use of durable materials such as reinforced concrete and treated timber frameworks contributes to their longevity.
We employ professional construction practices, including cavity wall insulation and moisture barriers, to enhance durability and performance. Additionally, environmental factors such as climate and ground conditions, along with usage frequency, can affect the life span of your extension.
We recommend regular inspections, particularly of the roof and foundation, to identify any early signs of wear. Maintenance tasks, such as repainting and resealing joints, can further prolong their lifespan.
