Bungalow rear extension in Ulverston

How much does a bungalow rear extension cost in Ulverston?

For Ulverston we work from the North West England rate: £1,740–£2,820 per square metre of new floor, including VAT, standard specification. North West prices sit below our West Midlands baseline; access on terraced streets is the main variable.

Your written price follows a measured survey and an agreed design, so it reflects your house, not an average.

Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Ulverston?

Whether your bungalow rear extension in Ulverston needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.

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 Ulverston like to extend?

Stone and brick terraces are common around Ulverston. Where houses back onto a ginnel or alley, deliveries can come in from the rear, which makes the build tidier.
