Terraced house rear extension in Stratford-upon-Avon
For homes in Stratford-upon-Avon, a terraced house rear extension is often the simplest way to gain space without moving. Rear and side return extensions for terraces, with access through the house and two neighbours. We take it from survey to completion certificate.
We cover Stratford-upon-Avon (CV37) as part of our Warwickshire work. Terraced streets make up much of the housing in parts of Warwickshire, and most rear extensions here go in without side access.

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

FAQ
Terraced house rear extension questions in Stratford-upon-Avon
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
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 I need planning permission for a rear extension in Stratford-upon-Avon?
Often not for a single-storey rear extension of up to 3 metres (4 metres on a detached house) under permitted development, or up to 6 or 8 metres with prior approval, unless the house is in a conservation area or its rights have been removed.
Is the site visit in Stratford-upon-Avon free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Do you handle building control in Stratford-upon-Avon?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
