Guide price in the West Midlands
For budgeting in Herefordshire, allow around £86,000–£115,500 for a two-storey extension for an end-of-terrace house with a 3 m × 7 m footprint on two floors (42 m² of new floor space). That's based on £2,050–£2,750 per m² including VAT for the West Midlands. Steelwork for wide openings is the item most likely to move the figure; we'll know once the engineer has designed it.

Rules in England
In England, a two-storey side extension on an end-of-terrace house always needs planning permission, costing £548 (or £575 for applications made from 8 December 2026). A two-storey rear extension can be permitted development within 3 m of the original rear wall and 7 m from the rear boundary. On a corner plot, nothing can go beyond a side wall that fronts a highway under permitted development.
Approval in England: Householder planning application: £548 (or £575 for applications made from 8 December 2026). Lawful development certificate: £274 (about £288 for applications from 8 December 2026). Councils should decide householder applications within 8 weeks of validation.
Building regulations: Building regulations approval (full plans recommended) from the council or a registered building control approver, with a completion certificate at the end.
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies, so notices may be needed for work on or near a shared wall or boundary.
Getting the design right
Continuing the terrace roof
A side extension on an end-of-terrace house usually continues the roofline of the row, so the pitch, eaves height and tiles must match. A small step down in the ridge and a set-back at the front often help the extension read as an addition rather than an extra house.
Corner plots
Many end-of-terrace houses sit on corners, where the side wall faces a road. In England nothing can be built beyond a side wall that fronts a highway under permitted development, and councils guard open corners, so we keep a gap to the pavement and design the side wall as a second front.

Two-storey extensions for end-of-terrace houses in Herefordshire: questions
How much does a two-storey extension for an end-of-terrace house cost in Herefordshire?
In the West Midlands our guide is £2,050–£2,750 per m² including VAT, so about £86,000–£115,500 for a 3 m × 7 m footprint on two floors (42 m² of new floor space). Essential and Premium specs move that by roughly 8% down or 20% up.
Can an end-of-terrace house have a wraparound extension?
Yes, if there is room to the side and rear. It combines a side extension over the open plot with a rear extension, and it always needs planning permission in England. It gives a large open-plan ground floor, but it also affects the attached neighbour and the street, so we test it carefully.
Can I build a two-storey side extension on a corner plot?
Often, but it needs planning permission and careful design. Councils protect the openness of corners and the view along the road, so they usually expect a gap to the pavement, a set-back from the front and a side wall with windows rather than a blank wall. We check local guidance and nearby examples first.
Will my end-of-terrace extension look like a new house on the end?
It should not, if it is designed well. A slightly lower ridge, a set-back from the front wall and a different front door position help it read as an extension. Councils often ask for this to avoid an extension that looks like an extra terraced house.
Will I need planning permission in Herefordshire?
Herefordshire is in England. Planning permission is needed: in England, permitted development only allows single-storey extensions to the side.
