How much does a bungalow rear extension cost in Wisbech?
In Wisbech, our guide for a bungalow rear extension is £1,960–£3,180 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. East of England prices run slightly above our West Midlands baseline; clay soils near trees are the main foundation variable.

| 4 m wide × 6 m deep (24 m²) | £47,000–£76,500 |
These are guide ranges; the written quote after the survey is the figure that counts.
Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Wisbech?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a bungalow rear extension in Wisbech.
Under England's householder permitted development rules you can usually add 3 metres at the back of an attached house, or 4 metres on a detached house, without a planning application, as long as the extension stays under 4 metres high and its eaves stay under 3 metres where it is within 2 metres of a boundary.
If 3 or 4 metres is not enough, England's prior approval route allows 6 metres on a terraced or semi-detached house and 8 metres on a detached house for a single-storey rear extension. Neighbours are consulted, the council decides within 42 days, and the fee is £249, rising to £310 from 8 December 2026.
Conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads restrict permitted development, and listed buildings always need listed building consent. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
What are homes in Wisbech like to extend?
Wisbech mixes Victorian terraces with 1930s semis, so both side returns and full-width kitchen extensions suit houses here.
