Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Ross on Wye?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a kitchen-diner rear extension in Ross on Wye.
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.
If 3 or 4 metres is not enough, England's prior approval route allows 6 metres on a terraced or semi-detached house and 8 metres on a detached house for a single-storey rear extension. Neighbours are consulted, the council decides within 42 days, and the fee is £249, rising to £310 from 8 December 2026.
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 Ross on Wye like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Ross on Wye. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.
