Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Stockton-on-Tees?
Planning for a terraced house rear extension in Stockton-on-Tees follows the English householder rules.
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.
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. 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 Stockton-on-Tees like to extend?
Brick terraces, colliery houses and post-war semis make up much of Stockton-on-Tees. Former mining areas often need a coal mining risk check before foundations are designed.

FAQ
Terraced house rear extension questions in Stockton-on-Tees
How long does a rear extension take to build in Stockton-on-Tees?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
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.
Can you build without side access?
Yes. Materials come through the house in protected runs or over the roof by crane on tight sites.
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.

Including TS17, TS18, TS19 and TS20, and the surrounding County Durham area.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Stockton-on-Tees?
