Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Felling?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a terraced house rear extension in Felling.
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.
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 Felling like to extend?
Brick terraces, colliery houses and post-war semis make up much of Felling. Former mining areas often need a coal mining risk check before foundations are designed.

FAQ
Terraced house rear extension questions in Felling
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.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Felling house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Can a terrace have a two-storey rear extension?
It is possible but harder to get through planning because of the effect on both neighbours.
Do you handle building control in Felling?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
Is the site visit in Felling free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Who will build my extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
