Single-storey, double-storey, rear and side extension drawings for Pearson Park homes — measured to Hull City Council's design guidance, delivered in days and revised free until your decision, with a free approval-odds check before you commit.
Hull City Council granted 91% of the householder planning decisions it made in its latest published year — 4 points above the 87% England-wide householder average. The whole park district lies in a high tidal-flood-risk zone, so raised floor levels and flood-resilient detailing are expected on new work, which is where a policy-literate drawing pack earns its keep. Its dominant Victorian (1837–1901) housing stock sets the design brief on most streets.
Before permission is required, Class B allows 40m³ of added loft volume on a terrace and 50m³ on a semi or detached house, and Class A allows a 3m single-storey rear extension on a terrace or 4m on a detached house. Pearson Park carries at least one Article 4 direction, and conservation areas including Avenues and Pearson Park, Beverley Road and Sculcoates remove those rights outright, so we confirm your exact address before a line is drawn. A validated householder application in Pearson Park is determined against an 8-week statutory target.
Pearson Park (Hull's first public park, ringed by protected Victorian villas), Beverley Road (historic radial route lined with period frontages in its own conservation area), Sculcoates Lane (older terraced streets between the park and the river), Louis Street (compact Victorian terraces off Beverley Road), Fitzroy Street (densely built terraced housing near the park) and Alexandra Road (villa-scale houses within the conservation area) — these are the Pearson Park pockets our drawings cover most. Heritage designations here include Avenues and Pearson Park, Beverley Road and Sculcoates. Hull City Council weighs each proposal against the Hull Local Plan 2016–2032, where HMO Article 4 controls manage the conversion of the large villas and terraces to shared housing. Many of the villas around Pearson Park have been divided into flats and HMOs, which carry no householder permitted-development rights.. On roofs the borough is pitched slate roofs with gables on the villas and double-pitched roofs on the surrounding terraces, over Victorian villas and terraces framing the park, grand houses overlooking Pearson Park's ornamental grounds and converted flats and shared houses.
Pearson Park homes come in a handful of recurring shapes, and each one points to a different extension. The borough is built largely from Victorian villas and terraces framing the park, grand houses overlooking Pearson Park's ornamental grounds and converted flats and shared houses, so a Victorian terrace usually wants a rear or side-return infill, while an interwar semi has room for a wider single-storey wrap or a two-storey side addition. Hull City Council judges every one of them against the Hull Local Plan 2016–2032, weighing footprint, height and the impact on the house next door before it looks at the elevations.
That is why the drawings decide the outcome. We set the extension depth against the permitted-development limits precisely, keep the eaves and ridge within the allowances, and plot the 45-degree daylight lines to the neighbours' windows so the case officer can see the amenity test is passed. The whole park district lies in a high tidal-flood-risk zone, so raised floor levels and flood-resilient detailing are expected on new work, so we design around it from the first sketch rather than discover it at validation.
Pearson Park also protects whole streets — Avenues and Pearson Park, Beverley Road and Sculcoates among them. Pearson Park is named in Hull's HMO Article 4 direction, so converting a house around the park to a small shared house needs planning permission and is weighed against the council's clustering and amenity tests. On designated land the larger-home extension route and most side extensions stop being permitted development, so we confirm your address against those layers before drawing a line.
Plenty of Pearson Park extensions are permitted development and need no planning application — a single-storey rear extension within the depth and height limits is the common case. You will normally need to apply to Hull City Council if any of these apply:
We draw the footprint, the ridge and eaves heights and the neighbours' daylight on the page — the relationships Hull City Council's officers weigh first — and submit a validation-complete pack, whether that is a lawful development certificate, a prior-approval notification or a full householder application.
Below is Hull City Council's real householder decision record, drawn from official planning statistics and refreshed as new data lands. Hull decides roughly 91% of applications in favour, yet around Pearson Park the layered conservation-area and HMO controls are what govern the design and use of any scheme. A complete, policy-literate extension pack anticipates those pressure points before submission, which is why professionally drawn applications are decided faster and refused less often than DIY ones.

Across Pearson Park, Beverley Road and Sculcoates Lane, the extension that lands most often is the single-storey rear addition — a glazed kitchen-diner across the back of the house, kept within the permitted-development depth or taken to a full application where the ground floor wants more. On the borough's victorian villas and terraces framing the park, a side-return infill frequently pairs with it to square off the plan; on wider converted flats and shared houses, a two-storey side or rear extension can add a bedroom above without swallowing the garden.
HMO Article 4 controls manage the conversion of the large villas and terraces to shared housing. We size the extension to the amenity and daylight tests, match the roof and materials to the host house, and keep enough garden to satisfy Hull City Council's space standards — so the scheme answers the borough's questions before an objection can raise them. Where permitted-development rights are used up or removed, we prepare the householder application to the council's extension design guidance instead.
We draw extensions on every street in the borough. A few of the neighbourhoods where Pearson Park projects come up most often:
Extension drawings for Pearson Park's Hull's first public park, ringed by protected Victorian villas — footprint-checked, daylight-tested and drawn to Hull City Council's guidance.

The right extension in Pearson Park depends on your house type and how much garden you can give up. This is how the main options compare on planning route and what they add.
| Extension type | Permitted development? | What it adds | What Hull City Council checks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single-storey rear | Often, within 3m/4m depth (6m/8m via prior approval) | Bigger kitchen-diner across the back | Depth, height, neighbour daylight (45°) |
| Side-return infill | Sometimes, if within width and height limits | Squares off an L-shaped ground floor | Width vs the original house, glazing to boundary |
| Two-storey rear/side | No — full application | Extra bedroom or bathroom above | Bulk, overlooking, 7m rear-boundary gap |
| Wraparound (rear + side) | No — full application | Whole-width open-plan ground floor | Combined footprint and garden retained |
Route depends on your street — conservation areas such as Avenues and Pearson Park and Beverley Road and Article 4 directions can remove permitted-development rights.
A fixed process built around how Hull City Council validates and decides householder extension applications — most drawings are submission-ready within seven days of survey.
Tell us your Pearson Park postcode and house type. We confirm your conservation and Article 4 status, how much permitted-development depth you have left, and score your odds against live Hull City Council decisions.
We measure the existing footprint, floor and eaves levels, boundary distances and the neighbours' window positions — the numbers the depth limits and daylight tests depend on.
Chartered designers develop the single-storey, two-storey or side extension to your brief, drawn inside the permitted-development limits or to Hull City Council's extension design guidance.
We submit the certificate, prior-approval notice or application, manage validation and case-officer queries, and revise the drawings free until Hull City Council issues its decision.
Not always. A single-storey rear extension up to 3 metres deep on a terrace or semi, or 4 metres on a detached house, and no higher than 4 metres, is usually permitted development. In Pearson Park you will need to apply to Hull City Council for two-storey extensions, side extensions wider than half the house, anything forward of the front wall, deeper rear extensions under the larger-home prior-approval route, and any extension in a conservation area such as Avenues and Pearson Park and Beverley Road.
Standard permitted development allows 3 metres on a terraced or semi-detached house and 4 metres on a detached one. The larger-home extension scheme can double that to 6 or 8 metres, but it needs a prior-approval notification to Hull City Council and a neighbour-consultation period, and it does not apply on designated land such as Pearson Park's conservation areas. We confirm which route your property qualifies for before drawing.
Two-storey and double-storey extensions almost always need a full householder application to Hull City Council, because they fall outside permitted development on most homes. The council looks closely at bulk, overlooking of neighbours and the 7-metre gap a two-storey rear extension must keep from the rear boundary. We design to those tests and show the daylight and privacy angles on the drawings. This applies to your Pearson Park address specifically.
A householder planning application in Pearson Park runs to a statutory eight-week target, a larger-home prior-approval notification to around six weeks including the neighbour-consultation period, and a lawful development certificate to eight weeks. Incomplete submissions stall at validation, so we submit a complete pack and manage officer queries to keep the decision on schedule. Hull City Council is the decision-maker.
Yes — planning permission and building regulations are separate consents, and almost every extension needs both. Planning governs whether you can build it; building control governs how it is built, covering structure, insulation, drainage and fire safety. We prepare the building-regulations drawings alongside the planning set so Hull City Council's building control or an approved inspector can sign the work off. This applies to your Pearson Park address specifically.
