Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Bishopstoke?
Whether your glazed rear extension in Bishopstoke needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
Under England's householder permitted development rules you can usually add 3 metres at the back of an attached house, or 4 metres on a detached house, without a planning application, as long as the extension stays under 4 metres high and its eaves stay under 3 metres where it 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. 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 Bishopstoke like to extend?
Commuter semis and detached houses make up much of Bishopstoke, and longer gardens make England's prior approval route for deeper rear extensions worth considering.

FAQ
Glazed rear extension questions in Bishopstoke
Do I need a party wall agreement?
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.
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.
Can I have a level threshold?
Yes, with a drainage channel outside the doors and the slab set to the patio level.

Including SO30, SO50 and SO53, and the surrounding Hampshire area.
