Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Cannock?
The planning route for a bungalow rear extension in Cannock is set by England's householder rules and your council.
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.
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. 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 Cannock like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Cannock. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.

Including WS11 and WS12, and the surrounding Staffordshire area.
How much does a bungalow rear extension cost in Cannock?
As a guide, £1,850–£3,000 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. For example, 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²): about £22,000–£36,000 at that rate. Your written price follows the survey.
Can a bungalow extension be fully accessible?
Yes: level thresholds, wider doors and a wet room are straightforward to design in.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Cannock?
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.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Cannock house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
