We cover Longton (ST2, ST3 and ST4) as part of our Staffordshire work. Terraced streets make up much of the housing in parts of Staffordshire, and most rear extensions here go in without side access.

Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Longton?
Whether your terraced house rear extension in Longton needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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. 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 Longton like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Longton. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.
