We Build Double Storey Extensions
A double storey extension always needs full planning permission, unlike some single storey extensions which can fall under permitted development. That makes the planning stage more important from the outset, particularly in a town like Shirebrook, where much of the housing stock is made up of terraces and semis from the town’s Model Village, built close together on relatively narrow plots.
Rosebrick Developments is based in Mansfield, close to Shirebrook, and we handle double storey extensions from the initial design and planning application through to the finished build.
Planning Permission for Double Storey Extensions
Every double storey extension in Shirebrook goes through Bolsover District Council’s planning process, and boundary distance is one of the issues that comes up most often on the town’s older terraced streets. Planning committee records for Shirebrook show that extensions positioned close to a shared boundary with an attached neighbour are a recurring reason applications need to be revised before they are approved. We factor this into the design from the start, so the application has the best chance of going through without delay.
If your property is one of the Grade II listed terraces within Shirebrook’s Model Village, listed building consent will also need to be checked before any design work is finalised, alongside standard planning permission.
If your property is an end terrace or semi with an attached neighbour, the Party Wall Act 1996 is also likely to apply, meaning the neighbour needs to be formally notified before certain works begin. We handle this as part of the process, so it does not become a hold-up later in the project.
What Our Double Storey Extension Service Includes
- Site visit and feasibility assessment, including checking boundary distances against Bolsover District Council’s requirements
- Design work, including liaising with an architect where needed
- Planning permission application and, where relevant, listed building consent and Party Wall Act notices
- Building Regulations compliance throughout
- Full structural build, from groundworks and foundations through to roofing and internal finishing
- Project management from start to completion
Extending a Terrace or Semi in Shirebrook
Adding a second storey to a terrace or semi changes the massing of the house more than a single storey extension does, so getting the design right in relation to the neighbouring properties matters. We look at how the extension affects light and outlook for the house next door, how the roofline ties in, and how the new brickwork will sit against the existing building, particularly on the older red brick terraces closer to the town centre.
