Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Bredbury?
Planning for a two-storey rear extension in Bredbury follows the English householder rules.
England's rules allow a rear extension of more than one storey without an application only when it is no deeper than 3 metres and at least 7 metres from the boundary opposite the rear wall, and never on designated land. Most two-storey schemes need householder planning permission.
Conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads restrict permitted development, and listed buildings always need listed building consent. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development, prior approval or a planning application.
What are homes in Bredbury like to extend?
Stone and brick terraces are common around Bredbury. Where houses back onto a ginnel or alley, deliveries can come in from the rear, which makes the build tidier.

Can you match the brick or stone on my Bredbury house?

Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
