Terraced house rear extension in Rugby
We plan and build rear extensions for terraced houses for homeowners in Rugby. Rear and side return extensions for terraces, with access through the house and two neighbours. Start with a free site visit, then a written price once the design is agreed.
Rugby sits in Warwickshire, with postcode districts including CV21 and CV22. On a Rugby terrace both neighbours usually need party wall notices or agreement, so we talk to them early.

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