UK Planning Regulation
You can extend a detached property by 8m to the rear if it’s a single-storey extension, or by 3m if it’s double
A single-storey extension can’t be higher than 4m on the ridge and the eaves, and ridge heights of any extension can’t be higher than the existing property
Two-storey extensions must not be closer than 7m to the rear boundary
Side extensions can only be single storey with a maximum height of 4m and a width no more than half of the original building
Any new extension must be built in the same or similar material to the existing dwelling
Extensions must not go forward of the building line of the original dwelling
In designated areas (such as areas of outstanding natural beauty, conservation areas, etc), side extensions require planning permission and all rear extensions must be single storey
An extension must not result in more than half the garden being covered
You should bear in mind that if your house is in a Conservation Area or a National Park, the amount of work under Permitted Development is usually reduced.
