Glazed rear extension in Bridgnorth
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 Bridgnorth and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
Bridgnorth and its postcode districts WV15 are part of our Shropshire coverage. A wide sliding door with one long rooflight, rather than a fully glazed roof, keeps a glass-led extension usable in summer.

Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Bridgnorth?
Whether your glazed rear extension in Bridgnorth needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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. 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 Bridgnorth like to extend?
