Do I need planning permission in Hebburn?
In England a glazed or orangery-style extension follows the same size limits as any single-storey rear extension: 3 m or 4 m without an application, or up to 6 m and 8 m through prior approval. Building regulations limit glazing to about a quarter of the new floor area plus the openings it replaces, unless whole-house calculations show the design still performs.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
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).

Local to Hebburn
We cover Hebburn and the postcode districts NE6, NE28, NE31, NE32. Nearby, we also take on projects in Jarrow (1 mile), Wallsend (1 mile), Felling (3 miles), Gateshead (4 miles).
For homes towards County Durham, Chester-le-Street is around 8 miles away. Across the North East, houses often have rear yards or modest gardens, so compact, well-lit single-storey extensions make the biggest difference.
What is included
- Foundations, walls and insulated perimeter roof
- Thermal calculations where glazing is generous
- Aluminium or timber lantern and full-height glazing
- Heating sized for the glass area
- Opening into the main house
- Design of piers, roof perimeter and lantern proportions
The lantern-to-roof ratio sets the character. A wider solid perimeter gives a calmer, more room-like space and hides downlights and speakers; a bigger lantern feels brighter but needs more care against summer heat.

Your questions about an orangery extension in Hebburn
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.
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.
Will my neighbours in Hebburn 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.
Will an orangery be too hot in summer?
Not if it is designed with solar-control glass, a solid perimeter and ventilation. We size the lantern and opening vents with that in mind.
How much does an orangery cost?
Our guide range is about £2,180 to £4,100 per m² including VAT, so a 16 m² standard-spec orangery is typically £40,500 to £51,000 in Hebburn.
