Prior Approval Householder Extensions

Submit an application for Prior Approval Householder Extensions for a single storey, rear extension.

Under the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 you can apply for prior approval for single storey rear extensions between:

  • 3 metres and 6 metres for terraced or semi-detached houses
  • 4 metres and 8 metres for detached houses

The legislation means that Planning Permission may not always be required for extensions meeting these requirements. You can check what fees may be required on our fee sheet(.pdf)(162KB)(Opens in New Window) (Opens in a New Window).
