Covering Hyde
Our survey diary covers Hyde, including M34, SK14, SK16. Neighbouring towns we cover include Denton (2 miles), Dukinfield (2 miles), Stalybridge (2 miles), Ashton-under-Lyne (3 miles).
Wilmslow, in Cheshire, is roughly 11 miles from Hyde and also on our list. The North West has a high share of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with rear yards and outriggers, plus large areas of inter-war semis in the suburbs.
Do I need planning permission in Hyde?
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.
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).

Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
