Rear extensions · Hertfordshire
Rear extensions in St Albans.
A rear extension in St Albans usually means drawing the kitchen and the garden into one room. We design it around light and the way the family moves, take it through St Albans City and District Council, then build it.

Common questions
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in St Albans?
Some rear extension work falls under permitted development, but limits on size, height and materials apply, and they are tighter in conservation areas and on Green Belt land. St Albans City and District Council is the authority that decides any application or issues a lawful development certificate for St Albans. We prepare the drawings and manage that submission for you.
What does the design and planning stage involve for a rear extension?
It runs in order: brief, a measured survey of the house, design, then the planning submission to St Albans City and District Council. One team holds the thread through each step, so nothing is dropped between people. Once it is approved, that same team builds it.
Does The Plan Hub build the rear extension as well?
Yes. We design the work, take it through planning, then build it. The same team that drew your rear extension manages the trades and runs the site in St Albans through to completion. If you would rather take the drawings to a builder of your own, you can. The choice stays yours.
