Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Loughborough?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a terraced house rear extension in Loughborough.
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. 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 Loughborough like to extend?
Loughborough has plenty of inter-war semis and bungalows, and single-storey rear extensions suit both.

FAQ
Terraced house rear extension questions in Loughborough
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Loughborough?
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.
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
How deep can I go on a terrace?
3 metres under permitted development in England, or up to 6 metres with prior approval outside designated land.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Loughborough house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
