Extensions in and around Huddersfield
Postcode districts we cover around Huddersfield include HD1, HD2, HD3, HD4, HD5, HX5. Neighbouring towns we cover include Brighouse (4 miles), Mirfield (4 miles), Liversedge (5 miles), Halifax (5 miles).
Yorkshire and the Humber combines stone-built terraces in the Pennine towns with brick semis and newer estates elsewhere, so materials and roof details need matching with care.

Will the council need to approve it?
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.
Homes in conservation areas, national parks, National Landscapes (formerly AONBs), the Broads and World Heritage Sites have tighter rules, so we always check the property's status and planning history before design starts.
Building over or within 3 m of a public sewer needs the water company's consent, usually through a build-over agreement, before the foundations go in.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

Questions people ask about flat roof extensions
How long does a flat roof extension take to build in Huddersfield?
On site, typically 10 to 16 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 4–12 weeks design and approvals.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Huddersfield, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Will my neighbours in Huddersfield be involved?
If a planning application or prior approval is needed, the council notifies neighbours. If the work is on or near a shared boundary, party wall notices may also be needed.
Can I walk on a flat roof extension?
Only for maintenance unless it is designed as a terrace. A roof terrace or balcony needs planning permission and a different structure.
Are flat roof extensions cheaper?
Usually slightly, because there is less roof structure and no tiles. Our guide range is about £1,640 to £3,150 per m² including VAT.
