Glazed rear extension in Ryde
For homes in Ryde, 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.
We cover Ryde (PO33 and PO34) as part of our Isle of Wight work. If your garden in Ryde faces south, expect us to talk about overhangs and solar-control glass before frame colours.

Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Ryde?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a glazed rear extension in Ryde.
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. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development, prior approval or a planning application.
What are homes in Ryde like to extend?
Commuter semis and detached houses make up much of Ryde, and longer gardens make England's prior approval route for deeper rear extensions worth considering.
