Height is often what decides a flat roof. Under first-floor windows, a pitched roof may not fit at all; a flat roof keeps the extension low while still giving a good ceiling height inside.
Planning and approvals in Wednesfield
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.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
If the work involves a shared wall, building on the boundary, or digging foundations within 3 m (sometimes 6 m) of a neighbour's building, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies and notice must be served before work starts: two months for work to a party wall, one month for new walls on the boundary and for excavations.
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
Who do I contract with for a flat roof extension in Wednesfield?
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.
Will my neighbours in Wednesfield 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.
Do I need building regulations approval in Wednesfield?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Are flat roof extensions cheaper?
Usually slightly, because there is less roof structure and no tiles. Our guide range is about £1,700 to £3,250 per m² including VAT.
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.
