Your written price follows a measured survey and an agreed design, so it reflects your house, not an average.
Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Wisbech?
Whether your terraced house rear extension in Wisbech needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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.
Because rear extensions often sit on or near the boundary, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 usually applies in England. Notices go out one or two months before work depending on the type of work, and a surveyor's award is only needed if a neighbour does not consent.
Conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads restrict permitted development, and listed buildings always need listed building consent. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
What are homes in Wisbech like to extend?
Wisbech mixes Victorian terraces with 1930s semis, so both side returns and full-width kitchen extensions suit houses here.

Can you build without side access?
Yes. Materials come through the house in protected runs or over the roof by crane on tight sites.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Wisbech?
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.
Do you handle building control in Wisbech?

Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
