Bungalow rear extension in Abram
Single-storey rear extensions that keep everything on one level. We design, get the approvals for and build rear extensions for bungalows in Abram and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
Abram is covered from our Greater Manchester round, including WN2, WN3 and WN4. For Abram bungalows we design the roof first, because the low eaves decide the height of the new room.

Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Abram?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a bungalow rear extension in Abram.
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. 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 Abram like to extend?
Stone and brick terraces are common around Abram. Where houses back onto a ginnel or alley, deliveries can come in from the rear, which makes the build tidier.
