Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Washwood Heath?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a terraced house rear extension in Washwood Heath.
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.
Because rear extensions often sit on or near the boundary, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 usually applies in England. Notices go out one or two months before work depending on the type of work, and a surveyor's award is only needed if a neighbour does not consent.
Conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads restrict permitted development, and listed buildings always need listed building consent. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.
What are homes in Washwood Heath like to extend?
Washwood Heath has a lot of post-war semis and estate houses with long gardens and side access, which makes rear extensions quicker to build.
