Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Basford?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a glazed rear extension in Basford.
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. 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 Basford like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and semis are typical of Basford. Coal-mining legacy areas in parts of the East Midlands can need a Coal Authority check before foundations are designed. Glass-led rear extensions in Basford are planned around which way the garden faces, because that decides the glass specification.
