Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Wednesfield?
The planning route for a glazed rear extension in Wednesfield is set by England's householder rules and your council.
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 Wednesfield like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Wednesfield. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.

Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Wednesfield house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Does glass need planning permission?
The same rules apply as any rear extension; glass does not change the depth or height limits.
