Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Sutton Coldfield?
The planning route for a terraced house rear extension in Sutton Coldfield is set by England's householder rules and your council.
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 Sutton Coldfield like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Sutton Coldfield. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.
