Single-storey extensions in Hebburn

Covering Hebburn

Hebburn sits 4 miles east of Newcastle upon Tyne, with Jarrow 1 miles to the east and Wallsend 1 miles to the north-west.

Homes in the North East

Housing across the North East ranges from colliery terraces and Tyneside flats to suburban semis and modern estates, each with different options for extending.

What do you get with a single-storey extension?

We design the extension around how you use the house: where the light comes from, how the new room joins the old one, and what happens to the drains and the garden. The structure is built in brick or block to match the house, finished with a flat roof and lantern or a pitched roof, then insulated, plastered and handed back ready to decorate.

What approvals does a single-storey extension need in England?

Projects in England go through two separate checks. Planning (or confirmation that the work is permitted development) comes from the district, borough or unitary council, and building regulations approval comes from the council’s building control team or a registered building control approver. Where work touches a shared wall or digs near a neighbour’s foundations, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies.

In England a single-storey rear extension can often go ahead under permitted development: up to 3 m deep on an attached house or 4 m on a detached one, no higher than 4 m, with eaves no higher than 3 m within 2 m of a boundary.

What should Hebburn homeowners check first?

Drains under the footprint may need diverting or a build-over agreement with the water company.
Large glazed areas need to meet energy rules, which can shape the size of doors and rooflights.
