Small extension on mid-terrace house

Hi all,

Had an idea around improving our living space - we just can’t find another house in our area that suits.

We are mid-terrace in a row of 3 old houses.

The idea is to extend 1.5 metres out the back and along the full width of the house (4m). It would be double storey and we’d add a dormer onto the already converted loft room. The downstairs bathroom would be moved upstairs.

We would get rid of the downstairs single storey extension (current bathroom) and replace it with a conservatory - hugely increasing our usable space.

Any ideas on whether this would fall into permitted planning? Any experience on costs before we get excited?! 40k, 80k or is it unknown?
