What to expect locally
Tyneside flats
Tyneside flats, pairs of upper and lower flats behind a terraced front, are common across Newcastle and Gateshead. They do not have the same permitted development rights as houses, so most extensions need a planning application.
Conservation areas
Areas such as Jesmond and parts of Heaton and Gosforth are covered by conservation areas, where design, materials and rear extensions are looked at more closely.
Building Regulations
Whichever council handles your planning, the work also needs Building Regulations approval. We prepare that set too, so your builder has everything.

Quick answers
I own a Tyneside flat. Can I extend it?
Often yes, but flats do not benefit from householder permitted development rights, so you will usually need full planning permission. We confirm what is realistic before drawing.
Which council do I apply to?
Newcastle, Gateshead, North Tyneside or South Tyneside, depending on your address. Your postcode settles it.
How long will the council take?
Householder applications are expected to be decided within eight weeks once validated. A complete set of drawings avoids delays at validation.
