Bungalow rear extension in Rochdale

How much does a bungalow rear extension cost in Rochdale?

In Rochdale, our guide for a bungalow rear extension is £1,740–£2,820 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. North West prices sit below our West Midlands baseline; access on terraced streets is the main variable.

Your written price follows a measured survey and an agreed design, so it reflects your house, not an average.

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

Planning for a bungalow rear extension in Rochdale follows the English householder rules.

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 Rochdale like to extend?

Stone and brick terraces are common around Rochdale. Where houses back onto a ginnel or alley, deliveries can come in from the rear, which makes the build tidier. For bungalows in Greater Manchester, a rear extension is the usual way to add space without adding stairs.
