Planning and approvals in Leytonstone
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).

Postcode districts we cover around Leytonstone include E7, E10, E11, E15, E17, E18. We also work in nearby Walthamstow (2 miles), Manor Park (2 miles), Stratford (2 miles), West Ham (2 miles).
For homes towards Essex, Waltham Abbey is around 8 miles away. Across London, terraced houses with narrow side returns and tight access are the norm, which shapes everything from party wall notices to how materials reach the back garden.

Who a bedroom extension suits
- Growing families
- Multi-generational households
- Homeowners who want an en-suite master bedroom
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.

Questions people ask about bedroom extensions
Will my neighbours in Leytonstone 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.
Do I need building regulations approval in Leytonstone?
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 Leytonstone?
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.
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 £2,080 to £4,160 per m² including VAT. A bedroom with an en-suite of about 18 m² is typically £44,000 to £57,500 at standard spec, depending on whether it is part of a larger two-storey build.
