Bungalow rear extension in King's Lynn

We plan and build rear extensions for bungalows for homeowners in King's Lynn. Single-storey rear extensions that keep everything on one level. Start with a free site visit, then a written price once the design is agreed.

King's Lynn is covered from our Norfolk round, including PE30. For King's Lynn 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 King's Lynn?

Here is how the rules in England apply to a bungalow rear extension in King's Lynn.

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. 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 King's Lynn like to extend?

King's Lynn mixes Victorian terraces with 1930s semis, so both side returns and full-width kitchen extensions suit houses here.

How a bungalow rear extension in King's Lynn comes together

  1. Look round and measure

    A free visit to see the back of the house, measure it, check the drains and boundaries and hear what you need.

  2. Options and costs

    We draw layout options and price each one, so the budget shapes the design rather than surprising you later.

  3. Paperwork handled

    Planning, prior approval or permitted development, Building Regulations approval, structural design and party wall notices are all handled by us.

  4. Build and sign-off

    We build to the approved drawings with regular updates, then hand over the building control completion certificate and any guarantees from suppliers.

FAQ

Bungalow rear extension questions in King's Lynn

Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in King's Lynn?

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.

Do you handle building control in King's Lynn?

Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.

Do I need to move out?

Rarely; the opening into the bungalow is made late in the build.

Can you match the brick or stone on my King's Lynn house?

We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.

Who will build my extension?

Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.

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.
