Covering Jarrow
Our survey diary covers Jarrow, including NE28, NE29, NE31, NE32, NE33, NE35. Nearby, we also take on projects in Hebburn (1 mile), Wallsend (2 miles), South Shields (2 miles), North Shields (3 miles).
Just over the Northumberland border, Cramlington is about 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.
Is an orangery extension right for your house?
- Homeowners replacing an older conservatory
- Period and detached houses with a garden view
- Those who want daylight without overheating
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.
Planning rules that apply in Jarrow
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.
The planning position for a specific Jarrow address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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.
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).

Orangery extension questions answered
