Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Humberstone?
Whether your terraced house rear extension in Humberstone 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.
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 Humberstone like to extend?
Humberstone has plenty of inter-war semis and bungalows, and single-storey rear extensions suit both.

Can you match the brick or stone on my Humberstone house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.

3 metres under permitted development in England, or up to 6 metres with prior approval outside designated land.
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Humberstone?
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.
Do you handle building control in Humberstone?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
