Terraced house rear extension in Lymington

Lymington is covered from our Hampshire round, including SO41. In Lymington we plan the delivery route through the house and the skip licence before anything else.

Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Lymington?
Whether your terraced house rear extension in Lymington 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. 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 Lymington like to extend?
Lymington has a mix of Victorian terraces near the centre and larger Edwardian and inter-war houses further out. Clay soils across much of the South East mean deeper foundations near trees, which we plan for at the survey.

FAQ
Terraced house rear extension questions in Lymington
Is the site visit in Lymington free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Lymington?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
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 you match the brick or stone on my Lymington house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
