Bungalow rear extension in Bromborough
Single-storey rear extensions that keep everything on one level. We design, get the approvals for and build rear extensions for bungalows in Bromborough and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
Bromborough is covered from our Merseyside round, including CH42, CH62 and CH63. For Bromborough 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 Bromborough?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a bungalow rear extension in Bromborough.
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.
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 Bromborough like to extend?
Stone and brick terraces are common around Bromborough. Where houses back onto a ginnel or alley, deliveries can come in from the rear, which makes the build tidier.

FAQ
Bungalow rear extension questions in Bromborough
Do you handle building control in Bromborough?
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.
How deep can I extend?
The same limits as a house: 3 or 4 metres in England, more with prior approval.
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.
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.
Is the site visit in Bromborough free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
