Rear extensions for bungalows in Nottinghamshire
Single-storey rear extensions that keep everything on one level. We design and build rear extensions across Nottinghamshire, from Nottingham and Mansfield to Worksop, covering single-storey kitchen extensions, two-storey additions, side returns and wraparounds.
For bungalows in Nottinghamshire, a rear extension is the usual way to add space without adding stairs. Red-brick terraces and semis are typical of Nottinghamshire. Coal-mining legacy areas in parts of the East Midlands can need a Coal Authority check before foundations are designed.

Do you need planning permission in Nottinghamshire?
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.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Can a bungalow extension be fully accessible?
Yes: level thresholds, wider doors and a wet room are straightforward to design in.
Will the roof look odd?
Not if the pitch and tiles match. Where the eaves are low, a flat-roofed section with a lantern is an alternative.
Can I extend the loft as well?
Sometimes, but that is a different project; a rear extension keeps everything on one level.
Do you cover all of Nottinghamshire?
We cover 15 towns and districts in Nottinghamshire, including Nottingham, Mansfield and Worksop.
