Very informative. I'm guessing now I've watched a couple of your videos I will need planning permission! I'm looking to a do a side extension on a semi detached with the new external wall up to the boundary fence, this would be a garage under and expansion to the two bedrooms above.
Thank you for sharing such an informative video! I’m considering purchasing a property and am exploring the feasibility of a rear two-story extension. Your insights on extensions were incredibly helpful. I was wondering if you could provide a ballpark figure for such an extension, or if you could point me towards resources or professionals who could assist with a rough estimate. Having this information would greatly help me in placing an offer on the property. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks in advance for your guidance!
if any of the extension is within 2 metres of any boundary, the eaves should be no more than 3 metres high. This means that any two-storey or first floor extensions with eaves that are more than 3 metres in height should be at least 2 metres away from any boundary of the property, otherwise planning permission is required
Very good videos, I'm glad u put them up on utube. Can u hv 2 storeys to extend the rear outrigger of a terraced house. They won't b set in 2m. I hv seen it done on a terrace a street away.
@betaplan what if the house is an end-terrace? Does that mean: 1. You can only do a double story extension to the side where the house is detached? 2. Will this double story extension be allowed both front and back? 3. If you do a front, single story extension, it can only be 3m from the existing front of the house? 4. Note, I have not mentioned a side extension. I’m do not wish to lose the entrance to the backyard. In the future, I want a basement.
Same rules apply to a terrace. 1. No still only the rear. 2. No only the rear. 3. You would need planning for a front (unless its a porch only). Side extension have there own sets of rules. ruclips.net/video/mYn7ORXebM0/видео.html
If a semi-detached house is originally an L-shape, can the bit that sticks out on the rear elevation have a double storey extension under permitted development?
hi, can i remove red brick wall fence? it is 3 meter away from road. i would like build one store extra room size 3meter wide and 5.5 meter long, 16.5 square meter, without planning permission. garden door i will not remove, it gonna be separate building with concrete metal bars, stones, red hard bricks, my house semidetached size 9 meter long, 5.5 meter wide, 49.5 square meter. the law says 50% footprint width allowed build without building control, my house wide 5.5meter so i can build 2.75meter wide? or 3 meter will be ok too? thank you
Hello I think you cant do the two single storey rear extensions on the semi-d house under PD if they touch the main double storey rear extension in the first place as all proposed structure will be treated as one block and within 2m of the boundary then non of them can go over 3m eaves height. Hope is useful to clarify the rules.
Thanks for your comment. It can become very case specific and subject to interpretation of the planning officers as something like this I would suggest is submitted on lawfulness certificate for clarification.
@@betaplanltd5967 Nice, video thought. Please don't misunderstand, it is not my intention to challenge your content and I can see you have a very good intention to promote the PD information. Just thought to provide the supplymentary information to your video that this would not be PD which is the same principle as the wrap-around side to rear extension, as they are touching each other. When there is a part single part double rear extension, all part of the extension is taken into consideration when applying the Class A PD rights.
@@uksurveyors No problem, I appreciate your comment. Its not always cut and dry, I normally speak from experience from what I have seen and dealt with. The difference in interpretation can be shocking some times.
what if the house has a lower ground floor, where the garden is located, isit possible to excavate the garden, dig 2.5 metres and create 2 storeys from the deepest part of the ground upwards? so the total height would be 5 metres but only 2.5 metres from its original location? 58 Comments
Thanks for watching, It would need to be in line with the two storey rear developments rules, set in from the sides 2m, 3m projection max as outlined in the video. If you excavated forming a basement, I don't think it would fall inline with PD rights.
wonderful thank you for sharing ,the 2 meters from the boundary rules means if the garden width is 4 meters only for an end of terraced house a double storey extension is not an option right?
Hi, we have a semi detached house.. our total rear garden area is around 12 meters… we have been given permission for 6 meter single storey extenion.. can u kindly tell how much can we extend for the second storey? Many Thanks
im after buying a house whats been extended to the side it runds right to the boundry possibly slightly over it my question is i cant find any planning permition for it on the local gov site and based on your video its not permited to the side extension was built in 2000 roughly do you think i should avoid seems fishy
@@betaplanltd5967 came up on the survey too said it could be over the boundary ended up backing out can't find any evidence of planning on gov site also if it's over the boundary just more hassle
hi thank you for video could you tell me i have red bricks wall boundary 1.80meter tall, can i remove bricks fence wall for my garden - for extension house. or not allowed need planning permission building control?
Thank you. Sorry that's not enough information for me to comment. An extension is based on the distance off the original house, if its the side or rear elevation. I would need more info.
Hi. Thank you for the informative video. Please could you clarify if I have a double storey extention to the rear of my detached house can the first floor (top floor) extend 3 meters but the ground floor extend further? Many Thanks
Hi , can we do rear double extension on semi detached house if we don’t have enough space to do side double extension I hope you get my point would really appreciate if you reply
Hi great video wonder if you could help regarding a single story side extension on a detached bungalow on a corner (road either side) I believe the pd rule is maximum roof height is 4m or 3m high within 2m of the boundary but how deep and how wide can it be built ?
Thank you. The depth is 4m detached (single storey) and the width is governed by the width of the original house elevation you are building off i.e. you can only build off the original house under PD.
If there's an existing single storey extension, can a second storey be added to this under the PD rights? Assuming this ticks all the other boxes (roof profile, distance from boundary etc), will this be acceptable?
Thanks for watching, it would depend on the depth of the ground floor extension and how far you are coming out at first floor level. I would suggest a chat with planners or lawfulness certificate to be sure.
@@betaplanltd5967 thank you for responding. The ground floor extension is less than 3m in depth, but it is 1m away from the boundary. My hope would be to build a second storey that is 2m setback from the boundary and keep it within the 3pm in depth to match the ground floor.
I would advise consulting the planning department. They may treat the ground section as part of the enlarged extension, meaning it must all comply. Its not straight forward unfortunately.
Thanks for watching, the information comes from legislation. The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015. Hope that helps.

All your videos very helpful, great information and nice and quick to the point
Excellent video, kept very simple and informative.

Potentially yes, subject, to planning policy and your specific case. You would have to apply for planning permission.
Can you do a 3m two story extension where the bottom level continues out further on detached house up to 8m?

Your videos are very helpful, can you please clarify if we can do side extensions on both sides of a detached house.
Thank you, yes, either or both sides, subject to the requirements.
Really nice and clear, thank you very much
Thank you.
Thank-you, really informative.
what if you own both houses on a semi-detached.
If a semi-detached house is originally an L-shape, can the bit that sticks out on the rear elevation have a double storey extension under permitted development?
If the requirements can be applied, If in doubt check with the planning department.
Great video, thank you!

Can you have a flat roof and extend further than 3 meters for the first floor and have the second floor be 3m outs
From my experience no, not on the same application.
Im trying to find info about an addition, but it adds two stories to the sides of a gable roof house.
It would need planning permission. So you would need to to be designed. Two storey side extension don't benefit PD rights.
So homes without a gable end, cannot attain a full rear 2 story extension? Only 2/3rds of the rear end?
Thanks for watching. No the roof is irrelevant, the 2 storey extension must be stepped in from the boundary by 2m, regardless of the roof type.
Hello I think you cant do the two single storey rear extensions on the semi-d house under PD if they touch the main double storey rear extension in the first place as all proposed structure will be treated as one block and within 2m of the boundary then non of them can go over 3m eaves height.

Do the same guidelines apply for a mews property with property on either side , similar to a terraced.
Thanks for watching. A mews, as mentioned would be considered a terrace.
Good video, thanks 😊
looking for rules about development over attached side garage.
Thanks for watching, There aren't any unfortunately.
Hi, we have a semi detached house.. our total rear garden area is around 12 meters… we have been given permission for 6 meter single storey extenion.. can u kindly tell how much can we extend for the second storey?
Many Thanks
It would be subject to planning if you are doing a ground floor extension at 6m.
What if you have a terrace house that's only 3m wide? In that case can you turn a full width 1 story extension into a full width 2 story extension?
Not without planning permission by the sounds of it.
Nice video , do you know any good company to do some planning?
Thank you, If you midlands based drop me an email, from my website.
Can you use the side 2 story extension as a separate dwelling
Thanks for watching. No, not under PD. You would have to apply for planning permission, to make it a separate dwelling.

It would be worth investigating further if it had planning permission and building control.

Hi, Yes you within PD requirements as per the video. If in doubt, hire an architect or survey to guide you through the process.
