Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Mirfield?

Here is how the rules in England apply to a two-storey rear extension in Mirfield.

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 Mirfield like to extend?

Stone terraces and brick semis are typical of Mirfield. Matching sandstone or gritstone on a terrace is one of the biggest cost variables, and reclaimed stone is often the best match. In Mirfield, a two-storey rear extension is worth comparing with the cost of moving once stamp duty, agents' and legal fees are counted.

FAQ

Two-storey rear extension questions in Mirfield

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

We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.

Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Mirfield?

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.

What is the 45-degree rule?

Many councils check that a two-storey extension does not cross a 45-degree line drawn from the nearest habitable window of the neighbouring house. We test it at the first drawing.

How much does a two-storey rear extension cost in Mirfield?

In England, usually yes if the extension is on or near a shared boundary or the foundations are close to a neighbour's building. We serve the notices.
