Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Cheshunt?
The planning route for a terraced house rear extension in Cheshunt is set by England's householder rules and your council.
English permitted development (Class A) allows a single-storey rear extension of 3 metres on a terraced or semi-detached house and 4 metres on a detached one, measured from the original house, with a maximum height of 4 metres and eaves of no more than 3 metres 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. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development, prior approval or a planning application.
What are homes in Cheshunt like to extend?
Cheshunt mixes Victorian terraces with 1930s semis, so both side returns and full-width kitchen extensions suit houses here.

FAQ
Terraced house rear extension questions in Cheshunt
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.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Cheshunt house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Do both neighbours need party wall notices?
Usually yes in England and Wales, because the extension often sits on or near both boundaries.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Cheshunt?
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.

Including EN7, EN8 and EN10, and the surrounding Hertfordshire area.
Who will build my extension?
