Which extension suits a Fleet home?

The South East has a broad mix of 1930s semis, post-war estates, newer developments and period cottages, and many houses have enough garden for a generous rear extension.

For many houses here, wraparound extensions, double-storey extensions or orangery extensions gives the most useful space for the budget.

Planning rules in Fleet

In England a single-storey rear extension can usually go up to 3 m beyond the original rear wall of a semi-detached or terraced house, or 4 m on a detached house, without a planning application, provided it is no more than 4 m high, keeps eaves to 3 m within 2 m of a boundary and, with other buildings, covers no more than half the land around the original house. The larger home extension prior approval scheme raises those depths to 6 m and 8 m, with neighbours notified and a 42-day decision.

In England a two-storey rear extension is permitted development only if it projects no more than 3 m from the original rear wall, sits at least 7 m from the rear boundary, matches the roof pitch and uses obscure, non-opening side windows upstairs. Most two-storey extensions therefore go through a householder planning application, which costs £548 from 1 April 2026 and normally takes about 8 weeks.

In a conservation area, national park, National Landscape, the Broads or a World Heritage Site the permitted development limits are tighter (no side or two-storey extensions without an application). Listed homes need listed building consent, and if permitted development rights have been removed, any extension needs an application.

Building regulations approval is separate from planning. In England you can use the council's building control team or a registered building control approver; a full plans application gets the drawings checked before work starts, and the inspector signs the work off with a completion certificate.

Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

  1. Free site visit

    First, a site visit: we look at the house, garden, access and drains and listen to what you need.

  2. Design and approvals

    Once the layout is agreed, we deal with the council: planning permission or written confirmation that none is needed, plus building control.

  3. Fixed written price

    With the design and specification agreed, you get a fixed written price and a start date.

  4. Build and sign-off

    Our team builds the extension, keeps you updated weekly and finishes with building control sign-off.
