Pitched and lean-to roof rear extensions in Shropshire
Lean-to, gable and hipped roofs that give a vaulted ceiling. Rear extensions in Shropshire: we cover 10 towns including Telford, Shrewsbury and Wellington, with design, approvals and the build under one contract.
Pitched roofs suit the cottages and slate-roofed houses in parts of Shropshire. Shropshire has a lot of post-war semis and estate houses with long gardens and side access, which makes rear extensions quicker to build.

Do you need planning permission in Shropshire?
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.
Conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads restrict permitted development, and listed buildings always need listed building consent.

FAQ
Questions people ask

Slightly, typically a few per cent more than a flat roof of the same area.
