Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Tipton?
Whether your glazed rear extension in Tipton 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. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.
What are homes in Tipton like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Tipton. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.

FAQ
Glazed rear extension questions in Tipton
Is the site visit in Tipton free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Tipton?
Often not for a single-storey rear extension of up to 3 metres (4 metres on a detached house) under permitted development, or up to 6 or 8 metres with prior approval, unless the house is in a conservation area or its rights have been removed.
Is there a limit on how much glass I can have?
In England the simple rule is 25% of the floor area plus openings removed; more is allowed with a calculation showing the house still meets Part L.

In England, usually yes if the extension is on or near a shared boundary or the foundations are close to a neighbour's building. We serve the notices.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Tipton house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
