How much does a glazed rear extension cost in Stoke-on-Trent?
A glazed rear extension in Stoke-on-Trent is priced at £2,800–£4,800 per square metre including VAT as a guide, before kitchen fit-out and fees. The West Midlands is the baseline for our guide prices.
| Size | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²) | £33,500–£57,500 |
| 4 m wide × 6 m deep (24 m²) | £67,000–£115,000 |
These are guide ranges; the written quote after the survey is the figure that counts.
Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Stoke-on-Trent?
Whether your glazed rear extension in Stoke-on-Trent needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
What are homes in Stoke-on-Trent like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Stoke-on-Trent. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.
