Do you need planning permission for a single-storey rear extension in Featherstone?
Whether your single-storey rear extension in Featherstone 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.
If 3 or 4 metres is not enough, England's prior approval route allows 6 metres on a terraced or semi-detached house and 8 metres on a detached house for a single-storey rear extension. Neighbours are consulted, the council decides within 42 days, and the fee is £249, rising to £310 from 8 December 2026.
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 Featherstone like to extend?
Featherstone has a lot of post-war semis and estate houses with long gardens and side access, which makes rear extensions quicker to build.

FAQ
Single-storey rear extension questions in Featherstone
Do I need a party wall agreement?
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.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Featherstone?
Often not for a single-storey rear extension of up to 3 metres (4 metres on a detached house) under permitted development, or up to 6 or 8 metres with prior approval, unless the house is in a conservation area or its rights have been removed.
Can I stay in the house during the build?
Usually yes. The noisiest, dustiest stage, removing the back wall, is kept to the final weeks and screened off. Most families set up a temporary kitchen elsewhere in the house.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Featherstone house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Featherstone?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
Is the site visit in Featherstone free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
