Glazed rear extension in Huntingdon
For homes in Huntingdon, a glazed rear extension is often the simplest way to gain space without moving. Full-height glass, slim frames and big rooflights for the most open rear room. We take it from survey to completion certificate.
Huntingdon is covered from our Cambridgeshire round, including PE29. Glass-led rear extensions in Huntingdon are planned around which way the garden faces, because that decides the glass specification.

Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Huntingdon?
Whether your glazed rear extension in Huntingdon needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
In England a single-storey rear extension can often be built under permitted development: up to 3 metres beyond the original rear wall of an attached house, or 4 metres on a detached house, no higher than 4 metres, with eaves no higher than 3 metres if any part is within 2 metres of a boundary.
New fabric must meet Approved Document L (2021 edition incorporating 2023 amendments): walls 0.18, roof 0.15 and floor 0.18 W/m²K, windows 1.4 W/m²K or Band B. Under the simple route, new windows, doors and rooflights should not exceed 25% of the extension floor area plus any openings removed; more glass is possible with a whole-house calculation.
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 Huntingdon like to extend?
Huntingdon mixes Victorian terraces with 1930s semis, so both side returns and full-width kitchen extensions suit houses here.
