Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Darras Hall?
Whether your bungalow rear extension in Darras Hall needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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. 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 Darras Hall like to extend?
Brick terraces, colliery houses and post-war semis make up much of Darras Hall. Former mining areas often need a coal mining risk check before foundations are designed.

FAQ
Bungalow rear extension questions in Darras Hall
Do you handle building control in Darras Hall?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
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.
How deep can I extend?
The same limits as a house: 3 or 4 metres in England, more with prior approval.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Darras Hall?
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.
How much does a bungalow rear extension cost in Darras Hall?
As a guide, £1,660–£2,700 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. For example, 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²): about £20,000–£32,500 at that rate. Your written price follows the survey.
