Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Burngreave?
Planning for a bungalow rear extension in Burngreave follows the English householder rules.
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. 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 Burngreave like to extend?
Burngreave has through terraces and some back-to-backs as well as later semis; back-to-backs have little or no rear space, so we look at side or loft options there.

Do you handle building control in Burngreave?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.

Sometimes, but that is a different project; a rear extension keeps everything on one level.

Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.

Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
