Bungalow rear extension in Stroud
Single-storey rear extensions that keep everything on one level. We design, get the approvals for and build rear extensions for bungalows in Stroud and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
Stroud is covered from our Gloucestershire round, including GL5, GL6 and GL10. For Stroud bungalows we design the roof first, because the low eaves decide the height of the new room.

How much does a bungalow rear extension cost in Stroud?
A bungalow rear extension in Stroud is priced at £1,920–£3,120 per square metre including VAT as a guide, before kitchen fit-out and fees. South West prices run slightly above our West Midlands baseline; natural stone to match the house is the main variable.

| 4 m wide × 6 m deep (24 m²) | £46,000–£75,000 |
These are guide ranges; the written quote after the survey is the figure that counts.
Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Stroud?
Planning for a bungalow rear extension in Stroud follows the English householder rules.
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 Stroud like to extend?
Stroud has Victorian terraces nearer the centre and post-war semis on the edges. Sloping gardens are frequent, which affects floor levels and steps down to the patio.
