Planning and approvals in Blackpool
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.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
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).
Local to Blackpool
Our survey diary covers Blackpool, including FY1, FY2, FY3, FY4, FY5, FY6. Neighbouring towns we cover include Poulton-le-Fylde (3 miles), Thornton-Cleveleys (4 miles), Lytham St Annes (6 miles), Fleetwood (8 miles).
Just over the Merseyside border, Southport is about 12 miles away. Across the North West, terraced houses with small rear yards suit compact rear and side return extensions, while suburban semis have room for more.
