Rear Extension Under Permitted Development

Planning a rear extension but want to avoid the hassle of planning permission? With Permitted Development Rights, you can extend your home without the need for full planning approval, allowing you to create more living space quickly and efficiently. Check our house extension cost calculator for some guidance.

What Is Permitted Development?

Permitted Development allows you to extend your property within certain limits, typically without planning permission. For rear extensions, you can extend:

• Up to 3 meters for terraced or semi-detached houses.
• Up to 4 meters for detached houses.
• Up to 6 meters for a semi-detached under prior approval.
• Up to 8 meters for a detached house under prior approval.

Prior approval is a formal process that requires a developer to get approval from the local planning authority before starting work on a development. It's a step between permitted development (PD) rights and comprehensive planning permission.

Benefits of Rear Extensions Under Permitted Development:

• Quicker Process: No need for formal planning permission.
• Cost-Effective: Save on planning fees and architect costs.
• More Space: Expand your kitchen, dining room, or create an open-plan living area.
