Can I extend a house in Halton?
Two towns either side of the Mersey, east of Liverpool.
Places people mean include Runcorn, Widnes.
Rear extensions and loft conversions are the usual questions on the residential estates and older streets.
Runcorn's planned estates and Widnes's older roads are not the same layout.
What you could probably build
Before you offer, or before you talk to an architect or planning consultant, enter the address. We check what was approved and refused on similar homes nearby. You get a simple report, with a verdict for each common job, such as a rear extension or a loft conversion.
Questions
Can I order a report in Halton?
Yes, when the address is in Halton. Enter it at checkout. We check what similar homes nearby were allowed to do, using the public planning register, and you get a simple report.
How soon is a Halton report?
We email you when it is ready. Timing is described on the questions page and in the terms.
Does this page tell me if my extension will be allowed?
No. This page is about the area. The report is about one address. Check with the council. Rules change, and every house is different.
