Bungalow rear extension in Walkden

How much does a bungalow rear extension cost in Walkden?

For Walkden we work from the North West England rate: £1,740–£2,820 per square metre of new floor, including VAT, standard specification. North West prices sit below our West Midlands baseline; access on terraced streets is the main variable.

We put a fixed price in writing once the design is agreed, and explain any provisional sums such as foundations.

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

The planning route for a bungalow rear extension in Walkden is set by England's householder rules and your council.

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.

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 Walkden like to extend?

Walkden 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.
