Previously homeowners could build an exempt development (extension) to the rear of their premises up to 40m2 in size, provided you obey certain rules and procedures.
There are many limitations to this which can invalidate exempt development such as the following:
(1) Wall height
(2) Distance to windows
(3) Roof can not be used as garden or balcony
(4) Distance from Boundary
(5) Distance from adjoining property

However you must consult your local planning authority for details or a good Planning Lawyer.

That's if it is a single floor extension. It can be 60 sqm if on two floors.
