Do I need planning permission in Newcastle upon Tyne?
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.
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).
Extensions in and around Newcastle upon Tyne
Site visits are available across Newcastle upon Tyne (NE1, NE2, NE4, NE6, NE8, NE99). Nearby, we also take on projects in Gateshead (1 mile), Gosforth (2 miles), Felling (2 miles), Wallsend (3 miles).
For homes towards Northumberland, Cramlington is around 8 miles away. Across the North East, houses often have rear yards or modest gardens, so compact, well-lit single-storey extensions make the biggest difference.
When a bedroom extension makes sense
- Growing families
- Homeowners who want an en-suite master bedroom
- Multi-generational households
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.
From first visit to completion
Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.
Free site visit
It starts with a visit to your house to measure, check access and talk through ideas and budget.
Design and approvals
We produce the drawings and structural design, and manage the approvals so they are in place before work starts.
Fixed written price
The price is fixed in writing once the design is settled, with a clear programme and payment stages.
Build and sign-off
We build it with one project manager, book the building control inspections and hand over the completion certificate.
Your questions about a bedroom extension in Newcastle upon Tyne
How long does a bedroom extension take to build in Newcastle upon Tyne?
On site, typically 14 to 22 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 8–14 weeks design and approvals.
Do I need building regulations approval in Newcastle upon Tyne?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Newcastle upon Tyne, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Will a new bedroom need planning permission?
Upstairs additions usually do. Ground-floor rooms may fall within permitted development, depending on size and position.
How much does a bedroom extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,460 to £2,910 per m² including VAT. A bedroom with an en-suite of about 18 m² is typically £31,000 to £40,500 at standard spec, depending on whether it is part of a larger two-storey build.
