Will the council need to approve it?
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.
Homes in conservation areas, national parks, National Landscapes (formerly AONBs), the Broads and World Heritage Sites have tighter rules, so we always check the property's status and planning history before design starts.
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).
Extensions in and around Liversedge
Site visits are available across Liversedge (BD19, WF14, WF15, WF16). The same team covers Heckmondwike (1 mile), Cleckheaton (2 miles), Mirfield (2 miles), Batley (2 miles), all within easy reach.
For homes towards South Yorkshire, Darton is around 11 miles away. Yorkshire and the Humber combines stone-built terraces in the Pennine towns with brick semis and newer estates elsewhere, so materials and roof details need matching with care.
