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

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

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. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.

What are homes in West Ealing like to extend?

Period terraces in West Ealing sit alongside flats, and the difference matters: houses usually keep permitted development rights, while flats and maisonettes need planning permission for any rear extension.

How a bungalow rear extension in West Ealing 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.

  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.

FAQ

Bungalow rear extension questions in West Ealing

Do you handle building control in West Ealing?

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

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.

Can I extend the loft as well?

Sometimes, but that is a different project; a rear extension keeps everything on one level.

Is the site visit in West Ealing free?

Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.

What postcode areas do you cover around West Ealing?

Including W5, W7 and W13, and the surrounding Greater London area.

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.
