Glazed rear extension in Newquay
Thinking about a glazed rear extension in Newquay? Full-height glass, slim frames and big rooflights for the most open rear room. Our team handles the drawings, the planning route and the build, and your contract is with one company throughout.
We cover Newquay (TR7) as part of our Cornwall work. A wide sliding door with one long rooflight, rather than a fully glazed roof, keeps a glass-led extension usable in summer.

Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Newquay?
Planning for a glazed rear extension in Newquay follows the English householder rules.
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. 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 Newquay like to extend?
Stone-built and rendered houses are common around Newquay, so matching the walling is a design decision in its own right: natural stone, reconstituted stone or a render finish across old and new.
