Bungalow rear extension in Salford

For homes in Salford, a bungalow rear extension is often the simplest way to gain space without moving. Single-storey rear extensions that keep everything on one level. We take it from survey to completion certificate.

Salford is covered from our Greater Manchester round, including M3, M5, M6 and M7. For Salford 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 Salford?

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

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.

England also has the larger home extension route: a single-storey rear extension of up to 6 metres on an attached house or 8 metres on a detached house, after prior approval from the council. The council notifies your neighbours and has 42 days to decide; the fee is £249 (£310 for applications made from 8 December 2026). The route is not available on designated land such as conservation areas.

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 Salford like to extend?

Stone and brick terraces are common around Salford. Where houses back onto a ginnel or alley, deliveries can come in from the rear, which makes the build tidier.

How a bungalow rear extension in Salford comes together

  1. Look round and measure

    A free visit to see the back of the house, measure it, check the drains and boundaries and hear what you need.

  2. Options and costs

    We draw layout options and price each one, so the budget shapes the design rather than surprising you later.

  3. Planning and regulations

    We take the design through the right planning route, then produce the construction drawings and engineer's calculations for building control.

  4. Build and sign-off

    We build to the approved drawings with regular updates, then hand over the building control completion certificate and any guarantees from suppliers.
