Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Bourne?
Planning for a terraced house rear extension in Bourne 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. 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 Bourne like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and semis are typical of Bourne. Coal-mining legacy areas in parts of the East Midlands can need a Coal Authority check before foundations are designed.

Terraced house rear extension questions in Bourne
Do you handle building control in Bourne?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Bourne house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.

Many Victorian terraces are. Your council's map shows it; we check at the survey.

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.

Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
