Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Wolverhampton?
Whether your glazed rear extension in Wolverhampton needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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. 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 Wolverhampton like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Wolverhampton. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.

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.

Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
