Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Spennymoor?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a terraced house rear extension in Spennymoor.
In England a single-storey rear extension can often be built under permitted development: up to 3 metres beyond the original rear wall of an attached house, or 4 metres on a detached house, no higher than 4 metres, with eaves no higher than 3 metres if any part is 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. 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 Spennymoor like to extend?
Terraces and semis are typical around Spennymoor. On terraces a single-storey rear extension across the back yard is usually the practical choice; semis often have room for more.
