Planning and approvals in Hebburn
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 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).

Your questions about a home office extension in Hebburn
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Hebburn, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
How long does a home office extension take to build in Hebburn?
On site, typically 8 to 12 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 4–10 weeks design and approvals.
Do you cover all of Hebburn?
Yes. We cover Hebburn and the surrounding parts of Tyne and Wear. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
How much does a home office extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,680 to £3,090 per m² including VAT. An 11 m² standard-spec office is typically £21,500 to £27,500 in Hebburn.
Is an attached office better than a garden office?
An attached office shares the house heating and broadband, adds floor area to the home, and needs no garden path in the rain. A garden building can be cheaper and quicker but is a separate structure.
