Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Tottenham?
The planning route for a bungalow rear extension in Tottenham is set by England's householder rules and your council.
English permitted development (Class A) allows a single-storey rear extension of 3 metres on a terraced or semi-detached house and 4 metres on a detached one, measured from the original house, with a maximum height of 4 metres and eaves of no more than 3 metres 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. 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 Tottenham like to extend?
Much of Tottenham is Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing with narrow back additions, which suits side returns, wraparounds and 3 metre rear extensions. Many streets are in conservation areas, gardens are short, and almost everything comes through the house or along a rear alley.

FAQ
Bungalow rear extension questions in Tottenham
Can you match the brick or stone on my Tottenham house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
How much does a bungalow rear extension cost in Tottenham?
As a guide, £2,400–£3,900 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. For example, 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²): about £29,000–£47,000 at that rate. Your written price follows the survey.
Will the roof look odd?
Not if the pitch and tiles match. Where the eaves are low, a flat-roofed section with a lantern is an alternative.
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.
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.
Do you handle building control in Tottenham?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
