Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Darras Hall?
Planning for a glazed rear extension in Darras Hall follows the English householder rules.
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 Darras Hall like to extend?
Terraces and semis are typical around Darras Hall. On terraces a single-storey rear extension across the back yard is usually the practical choice; semis often have room for more.

FAQ
Glazed rear extension questions in Darras Hall
What postcode areas do you cover around Darras Hall?
Including NE18 and NE20, and the surrounding Northumberland area.
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.
Will a glass extension be too hot?
Not if it is designed for its orientation, with solar-control glass, shading and ventilation.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Darras Hall house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Darras Hall?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
