Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Jarrow?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a glazed rear extension in Jarrow.
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. 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 Jarrow like to extend?
Terraces and semis are typical around Jarrow. On terraces a single-storey rear extension across the back yard is usually the practical choice; semis often have room for more.

FAQ
Glazed rear extension questions in Jarrow
Is the site visit in Jarrow free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Jarrow house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Will a glass extension be too hot?
Not if it is designed for its orientation, with solar-control glass, shading and ventilation.
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.
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.
