Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Mountsorrel?
Planning for a bungalow rear extension in Mountsorrel follows the English householder rules.
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. 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 Mountsorrel like to extend?

FAQ
Bungalow rear extension questions in Mountsorrel
Is the site visit in Mountsorrel free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Do you handle building control in Mountsorrel?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
Will the roof look odd?
Not if the pitch and tiles match. Where the eaves are low, a flat-roofed section with a lantern is an alternative.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Mountsorrel house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
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.
