Do you need planning permission for a single-storey rear extension in Hebburn?
The planning route for a single-storey rear extension in Hebburn is set by England's householder rules and your council.
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. 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 Hebburn like to extend?
Terraces and semis are typical around Hebburn. On terraces a single-storey rear extension across the back yard is usually the practical choice; semis often have room for more.

FAQ
Single-storey rear extension questions in Hebburn
What postcode areas do you cover around Hebburn?
Including NE31, NE32 and NE35, and the surrounding Tyne and Wear area.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Hebburn 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.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Hebburn?
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.
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.
