Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Kidsgrove?
Whether your bungalow rear extension in Kidsgrove 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. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development, prior approval or a planning application.
What are homes in Kidsgrove like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Kidsgrove. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.

FAQ
Bungalow rear extension questions in Kidsgrove
Can you match the brick or stone on my Kidsgrove house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
Do I need to move out?
Rarely; the opening into the bungalow is made late in the build.
Do you handle building control in Kidsgrove?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
