Terraced house rear extension in Cheetham Hill
For homes in Cheetham Hill, a terraced house rear extension is often the simplest way to gain space without moving. Rear and side return extensions for terraces, with access through the house and two neighbours. We take it from survey to completion certificate.
Cheetham Hill is covered from our Greater Manchester round, including M2, M4 and M8. On a Cheetham Hill terrace both neighbours usually need party wall notices or agreement, so we talk to them early.

Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Cheetham Hill?
Whether your terraced house rear extension in Cheetham Hill needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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. 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 Cheetham Hill like to extend?
Stone and brick terraces are common around Cheetham Hill. Where houses back onto a ginnel or alley, deliveries can come in from the rear, which makes the build tidier.
