Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Mansfield Woodhouse?
Planning for a glazed rear extension in Mansfield Woodhouse follows the English householder rules.
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. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.

FAQ
Glazed rear extension questions in Mansfield Woodhouse
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.
Do you handle building control in Mansfield Woodhouse?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
Does glass need planning permission?
The same rules apply as any rear extension; glass does not change the depth or height limits.
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.
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Mansfield Woodhouse house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
