Glazed rear extension in Glen Parva
We plan and build glazed and glass-box rear extensions for homeowners in Glen Parva. Full-height glass, slim frames and big rooflights for the most open rear room. Start with a free site visit, then a written price once the design is agreed.
We cover Glen Parva (LE8, LE18 and LE19) as part of our Leicestershire and Rutland work. A wide sliding door with one long rooflight, rather than a fully glazed roof, keeps a glass-led extension usable in summer.

Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Glen Parva?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a glazed rear extension in Glen Parva.
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 Glen Parva like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and semis are typical of Glen Parva. Coal-mining legacy areas in parts of the East Midlands can need a Coal Authority check before foundations are designed.
