Single-storey rear extension in Brough
For homes in Brough, a single-storey rear extension is often the simplest way to gain space without moving. Ground-floor space across the back of the house, usually for a kitchen, dining or family room. We take it from survey to completion certificate.
We cover Brough (HU14 and HU15) as part of our East Riding of Yorkshire work. A depth of 3 to 4 metres keeps many single-storey rear extensions in Brough within permitted development, subject to the house's planning history.

Do you need planning permission for a single-storey rear extension in Brough?
Whether your single-storey rear extension in Brough needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.
What are homes in Brough like to extend?
Brough has through terraces and some back-to-backs as well as later semis; back-to-backs have little or no rear space, so we look at side or loft options there.

Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.

In England, usually yes if the extension is on or near a shared boundary or the foundations are close to a neighbour's building. We serve the notices.
