Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Oadby?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a bungalow rear extension in Oadby.
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. 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 Oadby like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and semis are typical of Oadby. Coal-mining legacy areas in parts of the East Midlands can need a Coal Authority check before foundations are designed.

FAQ
Bungalow rear extension questions in Oadby
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Oadby house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
How deep can I extend?
The same limits as a house: 3 or 4 metres in England, more with prior approval.
What postcode areas do you cover around Oadby?
Including LE2, and the surrounding Leicestershire and Rutland area.
Do you handle building control in Oadby?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Oadby?
Often not for a single-storey rear extension of up to 3 metres (4 metres on a detached house) under permitted development, or up to 6 or 8 metres with prior approval, unless the house is in a conservation area or its rights have been removed.
