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