Glazed rear extension in York

How much does a glazed rear extension cost in York?

For York we work from the Yorkshire and the Humber rate: £2,600–£4,460 per square metre of new floor, including VAT, standard specification. Yorkshire prices sit below our West Midlands baseline; matching natural stone is the main variable.

Your written price follows a measured survey and an agreed design, so it reflects your house, not an average.

Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in York?

Here is how the rules in England apply to a glazed rear extension in York.

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 York like to extend?

York has through terraces and some back-to-backs as well as later semis; back-to-backs have little or no rear space, so we look at side or loft options there.
