Which extension suits a Bury home?
Across the North West, terraced houses with small rear yards suit compact rear and side return extensions, while suburban semis have room for more.
Start by comparing double-storey extensions, kitchen extensions and single-storey rear extensions: between them they cover most of the layouts we see requested for houses like these.
Planning rules in Bury
In England a single-storey rear extension can usually go up to 3 m beyond the original rear wall of a semi-detached or terraced house, or 4 m on a detached house, without a planning application, provided it is no more than 4 m high, keeps eaves to 3 m within 2 m of a boundary and, with other buildings, covers no more than half the land around the original house. The larger home extension prior approval scheme raises those depths to 6 m and 8 m, with neighbours notified and a 42-day decision.
In England a single-storey side extension can be permitted development if it is no more than 4 m high and no wider than half the width of the original house. Two-storey side extensions, and any side extension on designated land such as a conservation area, need a householder planning application.
In a conservation area, national park, National Landscape, the Broads or a World Heritage Site the permitted development limits are tighter (no side or two-storey extensions without an application). Listed homes need listed building consent, and if permitted development rights have been removed, any extension needs an application.
Building regulations approval is separate from planning. In England you can use the council's building control team or a registered building control approver; a full plans application gets the drawings checked before work starts, and the inspector signs the work off with a completion certificate.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

Questions about extensions in Bury
How much does an extension cost in Bury?
Using our North West England factor (×0.95), a standard-spec single-storey extension of 20 m² is a guide £38,500 to £49,500 including VAT, and a 32 m² two-storey extension £54,500 to £71,500. Your written price follows the survey.
Do you handle building regulations?
Yes. We prepare the drawings and calculations, submit them and book inspections, ending with a completion certificate.
Will my neighbours need to be told?
If you apply for planning or prior approval the council notifies them, and in England party wall notices may be needed for work near a shared boundary.
Who do I contract with?
Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which designs and manages the project and the build teams who carry it out.
