Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Staveley?
Whether your glazed rear extension in Staveley needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
English permitted development (Class A) allows a single-storey rear extension of 3 metres on a terraced or semi-detached house and 4 metres on a detached one, measured from the original house, with a maximum height of 4 metres and eaves of no more than 3 metres 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. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
What are homes in Staveley like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and semis are typical of Staveley. Coal-mining legacy areas in parts of the East Midlands can need a Coal Authority check before foundations are designed.

FAQ
Glazed rear extension questions in Staveley
How long does a rear extension take to build in Staveley?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
Is a glass box a conservatory?
No. It is built to Building Regulations as part of the house, with insulated floor and roof, so it is usable all year.
Who will build my extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
Do you handle building control in Staveley?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Staveley house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
