Planning rules for Ashton-under-Lyne
Under England's householder permitted development rules you can usually add 3 metres at the back of an attached house, or 4 metres on a detached house, without a planning application, as long as the extension stays under 4 metres high and its eaves stay under 3 metres where it is within 2 metres of a boundary.
England also has the larger home extension route: a single-storey rear extension of up to 6 metres on an attached house or 8 metres on a detached house, after prior approval from the council. The council notifies your neighbours and has 42 days to decide; the fee is £249 (£310 for applications made from 8 December 2026). The route is not available on designated land such as conservation areas.
Planning and Building Regulations are separate in England: even a permitted development extension is inspected for foundations, drainage, structure, insulation, fire safety and ventilation, through the council or a registered building control approver, ending with a completion certificate.
