Terraced house rear extension in Dudley

Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Dudley?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a terraced house rear extension in Dudley.
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 Dudley like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Dudley. 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 Dudley
What postcode areas do you cover around Dudley?
Including DY1, DY2, DY3 and DY5, and the surrounding West Midlands area.
How much does a terraced house rear extension cost in Dudley?
As a guide, £2,050–£3,300 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. For example, 3 m wide × 4.5 m deep (13.5 m²): about £27,500–£44,500 at that rate. Your written price follows the survey.
How deep can I go on a terrace?
3 metres under permitted development in England, or up to 6 metres with prior approval outside designated land.
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
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 you match the brick or stone on my Dudley house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
