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 Bredbury?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a terraced house rear extension in Bredbury.
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.
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 Bredbury like to extend?
Bredbury has long runs of terraced houses with back yards and alleys, plus 1930s semis further out. Yard extensions on terraces are often single-storey and close to both boundaries.

FAQ
Terraced house rear extension questions in Bredbury
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Bredbury?
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.
What postcode areas do you cover around Bredbury?
Including SK1, SK2 and SK6, and the surrounding Greater Manchester area.
Will my terrace be in a conservation area?
Many Victorian terraces are. Your council's map shows it; we check at the survey.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Bredbury house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
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.
Do you handle building control in Bredbury?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
