Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Garston?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a terraced house rear extension in Garston.
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.
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. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development, prior approval or a planning application.
What are homes in Garston like to extend?
Stone and brick terraces are common around Garston. Where houses back onto a ginnel or alley, deliveries can come in from the rear, which makes the build tidier.

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