Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Stockport?
The planning route for a bungalow rear extension in Stockport is set by England's householder rules and your council.
Under England's householder permitted development rules you can usually add 3 metres at the back of an attached house, or 4 metres on a detached house, without a planning application, as long as the extension stays under 4 metres high and its eaves stay under 3 metres where it 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. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
What are homes in Stockport like to extend?
Stone and brick terraces are common around Stockport. 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 Stockport
What postcode areas do you cover around Stockport?
Including SK1, SK2, SK3, SK4, SK5 and SK7, and the surrounding Greater Manchester area.
How much does a bungalow rear extension cost in Stockport?
As a guide, £1,740–£2,820 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. For example, 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²): about £21,000–£34,000 at that rate. Your written price follows the survey.
Do I need to move out?
Rarely; the opening into the bungalow is made late in the build.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Stockport house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
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.
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.
