Tavistock sits in Devon, with postcode districts including PL19. Terraced streets make up much of the housing in parts of Devon, and most rear extensions here go in without side access.

Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Tavistock?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a terraced house rear extension in Tavistock.
Under England's householder permitted development rules you can usually add 3 metres at the back of an attached house, or 4 metres on a detached house, without a planning application, as long as the extension stays under 4 metres high and its eaves stay under 3 metres where it 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. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development, prior approval or a planning application.
What are homes in Tavistock like to extend?
Stone-built and rendered houses are common around Tavistock, so matching the walling is a design decision in its own right: natural stone, reconstituted stone or a render finish across old and new.

FAQ
Terraced house rear extension questions in Tavistock
Do I need a party wall agreement?
In England, usually yes if the extension is on or near a shared boundary or the foundations are close to a neighbour's building. We serve the notices.
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 a terrace have a two-storey rear extension?
It is possible but harder to get through planning because of the effect on both neighbours.
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
Is the site visit in Tavistock free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Tavistock house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
