All things are possible,
but speak to local council who can give you advice [even over the phone].

It's more to do with the building line and whether it's still on the side of the property. Overlooking another properties immediate rear garden can also be a problem due to privacy. A good starting point is to look at the governments Planning Portal web site. They have an interactive display that gives a lot of explanation on the current Planning regulations see:
(Sorry, I was told to remove the link. Apparently not allowed)
Then have a local Planning consultant along to give you a free initial survey and that should then give you a good idea.
Cheers,
Nick

It is such a huge competition among building companies nowadays that it makes them do free survey and estimates for people like you just to win a job. Ask proper building company to come over, they will be able to tell you whether you can be granted an extension. - that is my advise.
