Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Ponteland?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a two-storey rear extension in Ponteland.
A two-storey rear extension can be permitted development in England only if it projects no more than 3 metres, stays at least 7 metres from the rear boundary, matches the existing roof pitch and has obscure-glazed upper side windows. In practice most double-storey rear extensions go through a householder planning application.
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 Ponteland like to extend?
Brick terraces, colliery houses and post-war semis make up much of Ponteland. Former mining areas often need a coal mining risk check before foundations are designed.
