Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Gosforth?
The planning route for a terraced house rear extension in Gosforth is set by England's householder rules and your council.
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. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development, prior approval or a planning application.
What are homes in Gosforth like to extend?
Terraces and semis are typical around Gosforth. On terraces a single-storey rear extension across the back yard is usually the practical choice; semis often have room for more.
