Terraced house rear extension in Skelmersdale

How much does a terraced house rear extension cost in Skelmersdale?

Guide prices for a terraced house rear extension in Skelmersdale start from our North West England rate of £1,930–£3,100 per square metre, including VAT. North West prices sit below our West Midlands baseline; access on terraced streets is the main variable.

We put a fixed price in writing once the design is agreed, and explain any provisional sums such as foundations.

Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Skelmersdale?

The planning route for a terraced house rear extension in Skelmersdale 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.

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. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.

What are homes in Skelmersdale like to extend?
