Terraced house rear extension in Huntingdon
We plan and build rear extensions for terraced houses for homeowners in Huntingdon. Rear and side return extensions for terraces, with access through the house and two neighbours. Start with a free site visit, then a written price once the design is agreed.
Huntingdon and its postcode districts PE29 are part of our Cambridgeshire coverage. On a Huntingdon terrace both neighbours usually need party wall notices or agreement, so we talk to them early.

Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Huntingdon?
The planning route for a terraced house rear extension in Huntingdon is set by England's householder rules and your council.
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.
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies in England: you serve notice two months before work to a shared wall, and one month before digging foundations within 3 metres (or 6 metres for deeper foundations) of a neighbour's building. Neighbours can agree in writing; if they dissent, surveyors agree an award.
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 Huntingdon like to extend?
Huntingdon mixes Victorian terraces with 1930s semis, so both side returns and full-width kitchen extensions suit houses here.
