Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Jarrow?
Planning for a two-storey rear extension in Jarrow follows the English householder rules.
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. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.
What are homes in Jarrow like to extend?
Terraces and semis are typical around Jarrow. On terraces a single-storey rear extension across the back yard is usually the practical choice; semis often have room for more.

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Jarrow
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Jarrow house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Can it be built on a terraced house?
Sometimes, but the upper floor is harder to get through planning on a terrace because of the effect on neighbours. A single-storey extension with a loft conversion is often an easier route.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Jarrow?
Often not for a single-storey rear extension of up to 3 metres (4 metres on a detached house) under permitted development, or up to 6 or 8 metres with prior approval, unless the house is in a conservation area or its rights have been removed.
