Do I need planning permission in Earl Shilton?
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.
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).

Pitched roof extension questions answered
Will my neighbours in Earl Shilton 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 Earl Shilton?
Yes. We cover Earl Shilton and the surrounding parts of Leicestershire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Do I need building regulations approval in Earl Shilton?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
How much does a pitched roof extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,760 to £3,320 per m² including VAT, a little more than a flat roof because of the roof structure and tiles.
Can I have a vaulted ceiling?
Yes. A vaulted ceiling with roof windows is one of the main reasons to choose a pitched roof. It needs insulation between and under the rafters to meet the building regulations.
