Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Cheetham Hill?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a bungalow rear extension in Cheetham Hill.
In England a single-storey rear extension can often be built under permitted development: up to 3 metres beyond the original rear wall of an attached house, or 4 metres on a detached house, no higher than 4 metres, with eaves no higher than 3 metres if any part 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 Cheetham Hill like to extend?
Stone and brick terraces are common around Cheetham Hill. Where houses back onto a ginnel or alley, deliveries can come in from the rear, which makes the build tidier.
