Planning rules that apply in Stockport
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 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.
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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

Common questions in Stockport
Will my neighbours in Stockport 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 you cover all of Stockport?
Yes. We cover Stockport and the surrounding parts of Greater Manchester. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Do I need building regulations approval in Stockport?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
How much does a kitchen extension cost?
For the extension itself our guide range is about £1,710 to £3,320 per m² including VAT. A standard 20 m² kitchen extension is typically around £39,500 to £50,500 in Stockport, plus the kitchen itself, which commonly adds £9,000 to £20,000 for a mid-range design.
Where should the island go?
Usually under the brightest part of the roof and away from the main walkway to the garden. We test two or three layouts on the plan before deciding.
