Bungalow rear extension in Bedlington
Bungalow rear extension in Bedlington: 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.
We cover Bedlington (NE22, NE24 and NE62) as part of our Northumberland work. For Bedlington 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 Bedlington?
The planning route for a bungalow rear extension in Bedlington is set by England's householder rules and your council.
In England a single-storey rear extension can often be built under permitted development: up to 3 metres beyond the original rear wall of an attached house, or 4 metres on a detached house, no higher than 4 metres, with eaves no higher than 3 metres if any part 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. 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 Bedlington like to extend?
Terraces and semis are typical around Bedlington. On terraces a single-storey rear extension across the back yard is usually the practical choice; semis often have room for more.
