Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Heywood?
Whether your glazed rear extension in Heywood 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. 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 Heywood like to extend?
Stone and brick terraces are common around Heywood. Where houses back onto a ginnel or alley, deliveries can come in from the rear, which makes the build tidier.

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.

Does glass need planning permission?
The same rules apply as any rear extension; glass does not change the depth or height limits.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Heywood house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.

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.
Do you handle building control in Heywood?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
