Bungalow rear extension in Whitechapel

How much does a bungalow rear extension cost in Whitechapel?

A bungalow rear extension in Whitechapel is priced at £2,400–£3,900 per square metre including VAT as a guide, before kitchen fit-out and fees. London prices sit at the top of our range because of labour rates, access through the house, parking suspensions and skip licences.

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 Whitechapel?

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

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 Whitechapel like to extend?

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