Covering Huntingdon
We cover Huntingdon and the postcode districts PE28, PE29. Neighbouring towns we cover include St Neots (9 miles), Cambridge (16 miles), Peterborough (17 miles), March (19 miles).
Just over the Northamptonshire border, Rushden is about 18 miles away. Across the East of England many houses sit on generous plots, and single-storey and wraparound extensions are a natural fit.
Do I need planning permission in Huntingdon?
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.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

Questions people ask about bedroom extensions
Do I need building regulations approval in Huntingdon?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Will my neighbours in Huntingdon 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.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Huntingdon, 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 £1,700 to £3,390 per m² including VAT. A bedroom with an en-suite of about 18 m² is typically £36,000 to £47,000 at standard spec, depending on whether it is part of a larger two-storey build.
Can I add a ground-floor bedroom for a relative?
Yes. A ground-floor bedroom with an accessible shower room is a common request. If it will be lived in as a self-contained home, planning treats it differently, so tell us how it will be used.
