Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Newcastle under Lyme?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a terraced house rear extension in Newcastle under Lyme.
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 Newcastle under Lyme like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Newcastle under Lyme. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.

Terraced house rear extension questions in Newcastle under Lyme
How much does a terraced house rear extension cost in Newcastle under Lyme?

Can you match the brick or stone on my Newcastle under Lyme house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Can you build without side access?
Yes. Materials come through the house in protected runs or over the roof by crane on tight sites.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Newcastle under Lyme?
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.
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.
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.
