Bungalow rear extension in Hale
Bungalow rear extension in Hale: single-storey rear extensions that keep everything on one level. We measure the house, show you what the rules allow, price it in writing and build it.
Hale is covered from our Greater Manchester round, including M33, WA14 and WA15. For Hale 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 Hale?
Whether your bungalow rear extension in Hale needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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. 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 Hale like to extend?
Stone and brick terraces are common around Hale. Where houses back onto a ginnel or alley, deliveries can come in from the rear, which makes the build tidier.

FAQ
Bungalow rear extension questions in Hale
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.
Is the site visit in Hale free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Can I extend the loft as well?
Sometimes, but that is a different project; a rear extension keeps everything on one level.
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
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 you match the brick or stone on my Hale house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
