Bungalow rear extension in Heysham
Bungalow rear extension in Heysham: single-storey rear extensions that keep everything on one level. We measure the house, show you what the rules allow, price it in writing and build it.
We cover Heysham (LA1, LA3 and LA4) as part of our Lancashire work. For Heysham 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 Heysham?
Whether your bungalow rear extension in Heysham 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 Heysham like to extend?
Stone and brick terraces are common around Heysham. Where houses back onto a ginnel or alley, deliveries can come in from the rear, which makes the build tidier.
