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