Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Marple?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a terraced house rear extension in Marple.
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.
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. 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 Marple like to extend?
Stone and brick terraces are common around Marple. Where houses back onto a ginnel or alley, deliveries can come in from the rear, which makes the build tidier.

FAQ
Terraced house rear extension questions in Marple
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 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.
Do both neighbours need party wall notices?
Usually yes in England and Wales, because the extension often sits on or near both boundaries.
