Planning rules for Glenfield
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.
If 3 or 4 metres is not enough, England's prior approval route allows 6 metres on a terraced or semi-detached house and 8 metres on a detached house for a single-storey rear extension. Neighbours are consulted, the council decides within 42 days, and the fee is £249, rising to £310 from 8 December 2026.
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.
