Planning rules that apply in North Shields
In England a single-storey side extension can be permitted development if it is no more than 4 m high and no wider than half the width of the original house. Two-storey side extensions, and any side extension on designated land such as a conservation area, need a householder planning application.
The planning position for a specific North Shields 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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
Included in a typical project
- Windows, doors and finishes to match
- Foundations near boundaries and any drains
- New openings through the side wall
- Survey, design and street-view drawings
- Structure, roof tied into the house
