Planning and approvals in Aldridge
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.
Homes in conservation areas, national parks, National Landscapes (formerly AONBs), the Broads and World Heritage Sites have tighter rules, so we always check the property's status and planning history before design starts.
If the work involves a shared wall, building on the boundary, or digging foundations within 3 m (sometimes 6 m) of a neighbour's building, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies and notice must be served before work starts: two months for work to a party wall, one month for new walls on the boundary and for excavations.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

Questions people ask about bedroom extensions
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Aldridge, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Do you cover all of Aldridge?
Yes. We cover Aldridge and the surrounding parts of West Midlands. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Will my neighbours in Aldridge be involved?
If a planning application or prior approval is needed, the council notifies neighbours. If the work is on or near a shared boundary, party wall notices may also be needed.
Does an en-suite need a window?
No, but it needs mechanical extraction that meets the building regulations. We design the duct route at the drawing stage.
How much does a bedroom extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,550 to £3,100 per m² including VAT. A bedroom with an en-suite of about 18 m² is typically £33,000 to £43,000 at standard spec, depending on whether it is part of a larger two-storey build.
