Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Whitley Bay?
Whether your terraced house rear extension in Whitley Bay needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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.
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. 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 Whitley Bay like to extend?
Brick terraces, colliery houses and post-war semis make up much of Whitley Bay. Former mining areas often need a coal mining risk check before foundations are designed.
