Can a rear extension be set back from the front of the House?
Can a rear extension be set back from the front of the House?
Setting back the extension from the front wall of the house can also help the original building maintain its symmetry. (See Section 7.2). In certain cases the use of a pitched roof will be considered essential and as outlined earlier it has considerable advantages over a flat roof.
When do rear extension rights end in England?
Permitted development rights for longer rear extensions to homes have been made permanent in England. These ‘temporary’ rights allowing larger single-storey extensions without planning permission were first introduced six years ago and had previously been scheduled to end on 30 May.
Can a semi detached house extension be built on the other half?
If an extension has already been built or been given planning approval prior to the Council’s adoption of the Code so that its projection is beyond that which would be permitted by the Code, an extension on the other half to a pair of semi-detached properties should not extend further than one already built or permitted.
Can a rear extension have a full pitched roof?
Even if a full pitched roof cannot be designed or afforded, a simple solution can be a small asymmetrical pitched roof. This may only require a small pitch on the prominent elevation. The result will be to make the extension appear to have a full pitched roof.
