Planning rules that apply in Redhill
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.
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).
Is a bedroom extension right for your house?
- 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.

Working in Redhill
Postcode districts we cover around Redhill include RH1, RH2. The same team covers Reigate (2 miles), Horley (5 miles), Caterham (5 miles), Banstead (6 miles), all within easy reach.
Coulsdon, in Greater London, is roughly 6 miles from Redhill and also on our list. The South East has a broad mix of 1930s semis, post-war estates, newer developments and period cottages, and many houses have enough garden for a generous rear extension.

Common questions in Redhill
Will my neighbours in Redhill 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 you cover all of Redhill?
Yes. We cover Redhill and the surrounding parts of Surrey. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Do I need building regulations approval in Redhill?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
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.
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.
