Planning rules that apply in Worksop
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 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).

What is included
- En-suite drainage and ventilation design
- Planning drawings and application
- Layout options: two-storey, over-garage or ground floor
- 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.
Local to Worksop
Site visits are available across Worksop (S80, S81). The same team covers Retford (8 miles), Mansfield Woodhouse (10 miles), Mansfield (12 miles), Sutton-in-Ashfield (13 miles), all within easy reach.
Homes across the East Midlands often have usable side land or a driveway beside the house, which opens up side and wraparound options.

Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.

Your questions about a bedroom extension in Worksop
Do I need building regulations approval in Worksop?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Will my neighbours in Worksop 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 Worksop?
Yes. We cover Worksop and the surrounding parts of Nottinghamshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
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.
