What are rear home extensions?
A rear extension is a structure type of extension that extends from the back of your house into the garden. This allows you to increase the size of your kitchen, dining room, and living room. The modern rear extension is usually built along the length of the house and extends 3-6 metres to the back. Furthermore, they have either a pitched or flat roof.
Benefits of a rear extension
- The living space is increased by adding a rear addition.
- Increases the value of a home.
- There are no stairwells required if you choose a single-storey rear home extension.
- It is less expensive than moving to a new home.
- The property's front stays unchanged, making it simple to acquire planning permission.
There are two alternatives when it comes to rear extension ideas, this includes:
The size of an existing space, such as a kitchen or dining area, can be increased by adding a rear addition.
It is possible to build new space, such as a new room, a bathroom, or a study area if you choose a double-storey extension.
Do I need planning permission?
In the United Kingdom, several authorities consider rear extensions to be Permitted Development. If the intended rear expansion layout conforms with all of the council's Permitted Development laws and regulations, you won't need approval. You must file an application for approval if your plan does not meet the Permitted Development standards.
You will need exact plans for your rear home extension plan, and it's ideal to hire the assistance of a professional contractor who is both skilled and qualified.
