Will the council need to approve it?
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.
In a conservation area, national park, National Landscape, the Broads or a World Heritage Site the permitted development limits are tighter (no side or two-storey extensions without an application). Listed homes need listed building consent, and if permitted development rights have been removed, any extension needs an application.
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.
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).

We cover Beverley and the postcode districts HU17. Neighbouring towns we cover include Hull (8 miles), Brough (10 miles), Bridlington (19 miles), Goole (21 miles).
Yorkshire and the Humber combines stone-built terraces in the Pennine towns with brick semis and newer estates elsewhere, so materials and roof details need matching with care.

- Insulation, plastering, electrics and plumbing to finish
- Ground and first floor structure, roof tied into the existing roof
- Breaking through at both levels, stairs and landing changes where needed
- Measured survey, design and planning drawings

Your questions about a double-storey extension in Beverley
Who do I contract with for a double-storey extension in Beverley?
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.
Do you cover all of Beverley?
Yes. We cover Beverley and the surrounding parts of East Riding of Yorkshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Beverley, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Do I need a Party Wall Agreement?
If you are in England or Wales and the work involves a shared wall or digging foundations close to a neighbour, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies and notices must be served before work starts. We tell you which notices are needed.
Is a two-storey extension cheaper per square metre?
Usually. Our guide range is about £1,460 to £2,820 per m² of new floor area including VAT, compared with £1,640 to £3,200 per m² for single-storey work, because the foundations and roof are shared across two floors.
