Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Nelson?

Here is how the rules in Wales apply to a glazed rear extension in Nelson.

The Welsh Government's householder rules let many homes add a single-storey rear extension up to 4 metres deep and 4 metres high without a planning application. Deeper projects go through a householder application, because Wales has no prior approval route.

Wales has its own Approved Document L, with targets for walls, roofs, floors and glazing similar to but not identical with England's. Heavily glazed designs are checked with a calculation.

Conservation areas, National Parks and National Landscapes restrict permitted development in Wales, and listed buildings need listed building consent. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development or a householder planning application.

What are homes in Nelson like to extend?

Stone terraces along the valley floors and post-war semis higher up are typical of Nelson. Sloping sites are common, so floor levels and retaining walls are designed at the start.

How a glazed rear extension in Nelson comes together

  1. Survey visit

    We visit free of charge, measure up, check access, drainage and neighbours' extensions, and note what you want the room to do.

  2. Design and guide price

    Two or three layout options with a guide price for each, so you choose the design knowing what it costs.

  3. Planning and regulations

    We take the design through the right planning route, then produce the construction drawings and engineer's calculations for building control.

  4. Build and sign-off

    We build to the approved drawings with regular updates, then hand over the building control completion certificate and any guarantees from suppliers.

FAQ

Glazed rear extension questions in Nelson

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.

Who will build my extension?

Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.

Is a glass box a conservatory?

No. It is built to Building Regulations as part of the house, with insulated floor and roof, so it is usable all year.

How long does a rear extension take to build in Nelson?

Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.

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.

Do I need a party wall agreement?

In Wales, usually yes if the extension is on or near a shared boundary or close to a neighbour's foundations. We serve the notices.
