Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Kirkby in Ashfield?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a bungalow rear extension in Kirkby in Ashfield.
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.
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 Kirkby in Ashfield like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and semis are typical of Kirkby in Ashfield. Coal-mining legacy areas in parts of the East Midlands can need a Coal Authority check before foundations are designed.
