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 Stretford?

Whether your bungalow rear extension in Stretford needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.

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.

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 Stretford like to extend?

Stretford has long runs of terraced houses with back yards and alleys, plus 1930s semis further out. Yard extensions on terraces are often single-storey and close to both boundaries.

FAQ

Bungalow rear extension questions in Stretford

Do I need a party wall agreement?

In England, usually yes if the extension is on or near a shared boundary or the foundations are close to a neighbour's building. We serve the notices.

What postcode areas do you cover around Stretford?

Including M17, M32 and M41, and the surrounding Greater Manchester area.

Do I need to move out?

Rarely; the opening into the bungalow is made late in the build.

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.

How long does a rear extension take to build in Stretford?

Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.

Can you match the brick or stone on my Stretford house?

We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
