Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Earl Shilton?
Planning for a terraced house rear extension in Earl Shilton follows the English householder rules.
In England a single-storey rear extension can often be built under permitted development: up to 3 metres beyond the original rear wall of an attached house, or 4 metres on a detached house, no higher than 4 metres, with eaves no higher than 3 metres if any part 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 Earl Shilton like to extend?

FAQ
Terraced house rear extension questions in Earl Shilton
What postcode areas do you cover around Earl Shilton?
Including LE9 and LE10, and the surrounding Leicestershire and Rutland area.
Can I get a price without a visit?

Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.

We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Earl Shilton?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
