Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Chaddesden?
Planning for a terraced house rear extension in Chaddesden 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 Chaddesden like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and semis are typical of Chaddesden. Coal-mining legacy areas in parts of the East Midlands can need a Coal Authority check before foundations are designed. In Chaddesden we plan the delivery route through the house and the skip licence before anything else.

FAQ
Terraced house rear extension questions in Chaddesden
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.
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
Can you build without side access?
Yes. Materials come through the house in protected runs or over the roof by crane on tight sites.
