Will the council need to approve it?
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 over or within 3 m of a public sewer needs the water company's consent, usually through a build-over agreement, before the foundations go in.
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).
Covering Eastleigh
We cover Eastleigh and the postcode districts SO18, SO50, SO53. The same team covers Southampton (5 miles), Winchester (7 miles), Totton (7 miles), Hythe (8 miles), all within easy reach.
Homes across the South East range from Victorian terraces in the older town centres to large detached houses on the edges, so the right extension type varies street by street.
Included in a typical project
- Layout options: two-storey, over-garage or ground floor
- Planning drawings and application
- Structure, roof, insulation and finish
- Heating extended to the new rooms
New bedrooms on an upper floor need an escape window or a protected route to the outside under the building regulations. We design the window sizes and stair route to meet that from the outset.

Common questions in Eastleigh
Do I need building regulations approval in Eastleigh?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Who do I contract with for a bedroom extension in Eastleigh?
Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which designs and manages the project and the build teams who carry it out.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Eastleigh, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
How much does a bedroom extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,790 to £3,580 per m² including VAT. A bedroom with an en-suite of about 18 m² is typically £38,000 to £49,500 at standard spec, depending on whether it is part of a larger two-storey build.
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.
