Bungalow rear extension in Hove

How much does a bungalow rear extension cost in Hove?

A bungalow rear extension in Hove is priced at £2,070–£3,360 per square metre including VAT as a guide, before kitchen fit-out and fees. South East prices run above our West Midlands baseline, mainly on labour rates and clay-soil foundations.

We put a fixed price in writing once the design is agreed, and explain any provisional sums such as foundations.

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

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

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.

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 Hove like to extend?

Commuter semis and detached houses make up much of Hove, and longer gardens make England's prior approval route for deeper rear extensions worth considering.

How a bungalow rear extension in Hove comes together

1. Survey visit

   We visit free of charge, measure up, check access, drainage and neighbours' extensions, and note what you want the room to do.

   Floor plans and elevations for the options, each with a guide price.

3. Paperwork handled

   Planning, prior approval or permitted development, Building Regulations approval, structural design and party wall notices are all handled by us.

   Once the design and approvals are in place, you get a fixed written price and programme, and we build through to sign-off.
