Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Hoddesdon?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a bungalow rear extension in Hoddesdon.
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. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development, prior approval or a planning application.
What are homes in Hoddesdon like to extend?
Hoddesdon mixes Victorian terraces with 1930s semis, so both side returns and full-width kitchen extensions suit houses here.

FAQ
Bungalow rear extension questions in Hoddesdon
Do you handle building control in Hoddesdon?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
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.
Can a bungalow extension be fully accessible?
Yes: level thresholds, wider doors and a wet room are straightforward to design in.
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.
