Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Shrewsbury?
The planning route for a terraced house rear extension in Shrewsbury is set by England's householder rules and your council.
English permitted development (Class A) allows a single-storey rear extension of 3 metres on a terraced or semi-detached house and 4 metres on a detached one, measured from the original house, with a maximum height of 4 metres and eaves of no more than 3 metres 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. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.
What are homes in Shrewsbury like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Shrewsbury. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.
