Bungalow rear extension in Lincoln
Bungalow rear extension in Lincoln: 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.
Lincoln sits in Lincolnshire, with postcode districts including LN6. For Lincoln bungalows we design the roof first, because the low eaves decide the height of the new room.

Your written price follows a measured survey and an agreed design, so it reflects your house, not an average.
Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Lincoln?
Planning for a bungalow rear extension in Lincoln follows the English householder rules.
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 Lincoln like to extend?
Lincoln has plenty of inter-war semis and bungalows, and single-storey rear extensions suit both.

FAQ
Bungalow rear extension questions in Lincoln
Can you match the brick or stone on my Lincoln house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Do you handle building control in Lincoln?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
Is a bungalow extension cheaper?
The rates are similar per square metre; roof work can add a little.
Is the site visit in Lincoln free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
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.
