Glazed rear extension in Arnold
Full-height glass, slim frames and big rooflights for the most open rear room. We design, get the approvals for and build glazed and glass-box rear extensions in Arnold and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
Arnold and its postcode districts NG3, NG5 and NG6 are part of our Nottinghamshire coverage. Glass-led rear extensions in Arnold 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 Arnold?
Planning for a glazed rear extension in Arnold follows the English householder rules.
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 Arnold like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and semis are typical of Arnold. Coal-mining legacy areas in parts of the East Midlands can need a Coal Authority check before foundations are designed.
