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