Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Melton Mowbray?
Planning for a terraced house rear extension in Melton Mowbray follows the English householder rules.
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.
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 Melton Mowbray like to extend?
Melton Mowbray has plenty of inter-war semis and bungalows, and single-storey rear extensions suit both.

FAQ
Terraced house rear extension questions in Melton Mowbray
Do you handle building control in Melton Mowbray?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
Who will build my extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
Do both neighbours need party wall notices?
Usually yes in England and Wales, because the extension often sits on or near both boundaries.
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
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 Melton Mowbray?
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.
