Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Cheadle?
Whether your terraced house rear extension in Cheadle needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
Under England's householder permitted development rules you can usually add 3 metres at the back of an attached house, or 4 metres on a detached house, without a planning application, as long as the extension stays under 4 metres high and its eaves stay under 3 metres where it 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. 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 Cheadle like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Cheadle. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.

Can I live at home while the extension is built?

Do you handle building control in Cheadle?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
How deep can I go on a terrace?
3 metres under permitted development in England, or up to 6 metres with prior approval outside designated land.
