Will the council need to approve it?
In England the main routes are permitted development (ideally confirmed with a lawful development certificate, £274), larger home extension prior approval (£249, 42 days) and a householder planning application (£548, normally 8 weeks), with council fees as set from 1 April 2026.
The planning position for a specific Felling address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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).
Covering Felling
We cover Felling and the postcode districts NE1, NE6, NE8, NE9, NE10, NE99. The same team covers Gateshead (1 mile), Newcastle upon Tyne (2 miles), Hebburn (3 miles), Wallsend (3 miles), all within easy reach.
For homes towards County Durham, Chester-le-Street is around 7 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.

Common questions in Felling
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Felling, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
How long does this take for a Felling home?
2–6 weeks for drawings, depending on the council and the complexity of the project.
Do you cover all of Felling?
Yes. We cover Felling and the surrounding parts of Tyne and Wear. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Do I need an architect?
Not necessarily. For most extensions an experienced designer or architectural technologist is enough. For listed buildings or complex sites an architect’s input can help.
Can I use your drawings with another builder?
Yes. Once paid for, the drawings are yours to use for your project.
