Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Long Eaton?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a bungalow rear extension in Long Eaton.
English permitted development (Class A) allows a single-storey rear extension of 3 metres on a terraced or semi-detached house and 4 metres on a detached one, measured from the original house, with a maximum height of 4 metres and eaves of no more than 3 metres within 2 metres of a boundary.
England also has the larger home extension route: a single-storey rear extension of up to 6 metres on an attached house or 8 metres on a detached house, after prior approval from the council. The council notifies your neighbours and has 42 days to decide; the fee is £249 (£310 for applications made from 8 December 2026). The route is not available on designated land such as conservation areas.
Conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads restrict permitted development, and listed buildings always need listed building consent. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.
What are homes in Long Eaton like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and semis are typical of Long Eaton. Coal-mining legacy areas in parts of the East Midlands can need a Coal Authority check before foundations are designed.

FAQ
Bungalow rear extension questions in Long Eaton
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
Is the site visit in Long Eaton free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
How deep can I extend?
The same limits as a house: 3 or 4 metres in England, more with prior approval.
Do you handle building control in Long Eaton?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Long Eaton house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
