How much does a bungalow rear extension cost in Shrewsbury?
For Shrewsbury we work from the West Midlands rate: £1,850–£3,000 per square metre of new floor, including VAT, standard specification. The West Midlands is the baseline for our guide prices.
| Size | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²) | £22,000–£36,000 |
| 4 m wide × 6 m deep (24 m²) | £44,500–£72,000 |
Your written price follows a measured survey and an agreed design, so it reflects your house, not an average.
Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Shrewsbury?
Whether your bungalow rear extension in Shrewsbury needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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. 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 Shrewsbury like to extend?
Shrewsbury has a lot of post-war semis and estate houses with long gardens and side access, which makes rear extensions quicker to build.
