Glazed rear extension in Hereford
For homes in Hereford, 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.
Hereford is covered from our Herefordshire round, including HR1 and HR4. Glass-led rear extensions in Hereford 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 Hereford?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a glazed rear extension in Hereford.
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 Hereford like to extend?
Hereford has a lot of post-war semis and estate houses with long gardens and side access, which makes rear extensions quicker to build. A wide sliding door with one long rooflight, rather than a fully glazed roof, keeps a glass-led extension usable in summer.
