Terraced house rear extension in Lincoln
For homes in Lincoln, a terraced house rear extension is often the simplest way to gain space without moving. Rear and side return extensions for terraces, with access through the house and two neighbours. We take it from survey to completion certificate.
We cover Lincoln (LN6) as part of our Lincolnshire work. On a Lincoln terrace both neighbours usually need party wall notices or agreement, so we talk to them early.

Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Lincoln?
Whether your terraced house rear extension in Lincoln needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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 Lincoln like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and semis are typical of Lincoln. Coal-mining legacy areas in parts of the East Midlands can need a Coal Authority check before foundations are designed.
