Newham decides, so Newham's numbers apply
Beckton E6 lies in the London Borough of Newham, and the figures here are the borough's. Of its householder applications in the latest four quarters, 95% outside prior approvals were decided within 8 weeks. The 87% grant rate covers every householder scheme, from small alterations to large extensions, so it is a guide to the council's habits and not a result for your house.
Not sure the address is Newham's? The council lookup on GOV.UK confirms it from the postcode.
Rear extension without an application, or with prior approval
On a house that is not detached, Class A of Part 1, Schedule 2 of the General Permitted Development Order 2015 allows a single-storey rear extension up to 3 metres beyond the original rear wall, or up to 6 metres through the larger home extension prior approval (legislation.gov.uk).
Newham's record on the longer route is a small sample. It determined 52 larger home extension prior approvals over the eight quarters from 2024 Q3 to 2026 Q2 and granted 23% (our analysis of MHCLG planning application statistics, table PS1). For a deep kitchen extension, a householder application may be the more dependable way to get the depth you want.
Our fixed fee for single-storey rear extension drawings, survey and planning or permitted development drawings included, starts at £695.
Conservation areas are few, but check
The national register holds 9 conservation-area entries for Newham (our analysis of the MHCLG Planning Data Platform conservation-area dataset), so check your own road rather than assume. Verify yours on the council's conservation area map, and ask whether an Article 4 direction removes rights on your road. Our Article 4 guide explains what that means.
When a refusal is appealed
The Planning Inspectorate decided 92 householder appeals for Newham between 2021 and 2026 and allowed 33% (our analysis of the Planning Inspectorate Casework Database, release 2609). Two in three were dismissed, so an appeal is not a shortcut around the council's reasons. That is a record, not a forecast.
Fees and next steps
Newham's fee for a householder application is £548 from 1 April 2026. Our fixed fee for single-storey rear extension drawings, survey and planning or permitted development drawings included, starts at £695.
