Terraced house rear extension in Ashington
For homes in Ashington, 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 Ashington (NE62, NE63 and NE64) as part of our Northumberland work. In Ashington we plan the delivery route through the house and the skip licence before anything else.

Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Ashington?
Planning for a terraced house rear extension in Ashington follows the English householder rules.
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 Ashington like to extend?
Brick terraces, colliery houses and post-war semis make up much of Ashington. Former mining areas often need a coal mining risk check before foundations are designed.

FAQ
Terraced house rear extension questions in Ashington
Do I need a party wall agreement?
In England, usually yes if the extension is on or near a shared boundary or the foundations are close to a neighbour's building. We serve the notices.
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.
Can a terrace have a two-storey rear extension?
It is possible but harder to get through planning because of the effect on both neighbours.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Ashington house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Ashington?
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.
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.
