Which extension suits a Eccles 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.
The types we would usually look at first for a home in Eccles are double-storey extensions, single-storey rear extensions and kitchen extensions, depending on the garden and how the house is laid out.

Planning rules in Eccles
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 Eccles
How much does an extension cost in Eccles?
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.
