Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Berwick-upon-Tweed?
Planning for a terraced house rear extension in Berwick-upon-Tweed 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.
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 Berwick-upon-Tweed like to extend?
Terraces and semis are typical around Berwick-upon-Tweed. On terraces a single-storey rear extension across the back yard is usually the practical choice; semis often have room for more.

FAQ
Terraced house rear extension questions in Berwick-upon-Tweed
Can you match the brick or stone on my Berwick-upon-Tweed house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
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.
Will my terrace be in a conservation area?
Many Victorian terraces are. Your council's map shows it; we check at the survey.
Do you handle building control in Berwick-upon-Tweed?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
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.
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
