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