Do you need planning permission for a single-storey rear extension in Snodland?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a single-storey rear extension in Snodland.
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.
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 Snodland like to extend?
Commuter semis and detached houses make up much of Snodland, and longer gardens make England's prior approval route for deeper rear extensions worth considering.

FAQ
Single-storey rear extension questions in Snodland
Do you handle building control in Snodland?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Snodland house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Will the extension make the room behind it dark?
Not if it is designed well. Rooflights or a lantern over the old back room, and a wide opening into it, keep daylight reaching the middle of the house.
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
Who will build my extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Snodland?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
