Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Blaydon-on-Tyne?
The planning route for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Blaydon-on-Tyne is set by England's householder rules and your council.
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.
England also has the larger home extension route: a single-storey rear extension of up to 6 metres on an attached house or 8 metres on a detached house, after prior approval from the council. The council notifies your neighbours and has 42 days to decide; the fee is £249 (£310 for applications made from 8 December 2026). The route is not available on designated land such as conservation areas.
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 Blaydon-on-Tyne like to extend?
Brick terraces, colliery houses and post-war semis make up much of Blaydon-on-Tyne. Former mining areas often need a coal mining risk check before foundations are designed.
