Semi-detached rear extension in Uttoxeter
We plan and build rear extensions for semi-detached houses for homeowners in Uttoxeter. Single or two-storey extensions for semi-detached houses, with side access and one party wall. Start with a free site visit, then a written price once the design is agreed.
We cover Uttoxeter (ST14) as part of our Staffordshire work. Where an Uttoxeter semi already has a small lean-to at the back, we usually replace it rather than extend it.

Do you need planning permission for a semi-detached rear extension in Uttoxeter?
Planning for a semi-detached rear extension in Uttoxeter follows the English householder rules.
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's rules allow a rear extension of more than one storey without an application only when it is no deeper than 3 metres and at least 7 metres from the boundary opposite the rear wall, and never on designated land. Most two-storey schemes need householder planning permission.
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 Uttoxeter like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Uttoxeter. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.
