Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Newcastle under Lyme?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a kitchen-diner rear extension in Newcastle under Lyme.
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. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
What are homes in Newcastle under Lyme like to extend?
Newcastle under Lyme has a lot of post-war semis and estate houses with long gardens and side access, which makes rear extensions quicker to build.
