Bungalow rear extension in Leominster

For homes in Leominster, 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.

We cover Leominster (HR6) as part of our Herefordshire work. For Leominster 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 Leominster?

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

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 Leominster like to extend?

Leominster has a lot of post-war semis and estate houses with long gardens and side access, which makes rear extensions quicker to build. For bungalows in Herefordshire, a rear extension is the usual way to add space without adding stairs.
