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

Here is how the rules in England apply to a bungalow rear extension in Tiverton.

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. 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 Tiverton like to extend?

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

FAQ

Bungalow rear extension questions in Tiverton

Who will build my extension?

Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.

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.

Do I need to move out?

Rarely; the opening into the bungalow is made late in the build.

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.

What postcode areas do you cover around Tiverton?

Including EX16, and the surrounding Devon area.

Do you handle building control in Tiverton?

Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
