Rear extensions for terraced houses in Warwickshire
Rear and side return extensions for terraces, with access through the house and two neighbours. Rear extensions in Warwickshire: we cover 9 towns including Nuneaton, Rugby and Royal Leamington Spa, with design, approvals and the build under one contract.
On a Nuneaton terrace both neighbours usually need party wall notices or agreement, so we talk to them early. Warwickshire has a lot of post-war semis and estate houses with long gardens and side access, which makes rear extensions quicker to build.

Do you need planning permission in Warwickshire?
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.
