Bungalow rear extension in Ivybridge

How much does a bungalow rear extension cost in Ivybridge?

For Ivybridge we work from the South West England rate: £1,920–£3,120 per square metre of new floor, including VAT, standard specification. South West prices run slightly above our West Midlands baseline; natural stone to match the house 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 Ivybridge?

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

In England a single-storey rear extension can often be built under permitted development: up to 3 metres beyond the original rear wall of an attached house, or 4 metres on a detached house, no higher than 4 metres, with eaves no higher than 3 metres if any part is 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. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development, prior approval or a planning application.

What are homes in Ivybridge like to extend?

Stone-built and rendered houses are common around Ivybridge, so matching the walling is a design decision in its own right: natural stone, reconstituted stone or a render finish across old and new.

1. Look round and measure

   A free visit to see the back of the house, measure it, check the drains and boundaries and hear what you need.
