How much does a bungalow rear extension cost in Bexley?

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

Planning for a bungalow rear extension in Bexley follows the English householder rules.

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.

If 3 or 4 metres is not enough, England's prior approval route allows 6 metres on a terraced or semi-detached house and 8 metres on a detached house for a single-storey rear extension. Neighbours are consulted, the council decides within 42 days, and the fee is £249, rising to £310 from 8 December 2026.

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 Bexley like to extend?

Bexley is mostly 1930s semis, short terraces and post-war houses, so full-width single-storey and two-storey rear extensions are realistic on many plots. Some later estates had permitted development rights removed by condition, so we check the planning history first.

How a bungalow rear extension in Bexley comes together

1. Free site visit

   We measure the house and garden, look at the back wall, drainage and boundaries, and talk through what you want from the space.

2. Options and costs

   We draw layout options and price each one, so the budget shapes the design rather than surprising you later.

3. Planning and regulations

   We take the design through the right planning route, then produce the construction drawings and engineer's calculations for building control.

4. Build and sign-off

   We build to the approved drawings with regular updates, then hand over the building control completion certificate and any guarantees from suppliers.
