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