Bungalow rear extension in Rugeley

How much does a bungalow rear extension cost in Rugeley?

For Rugeley 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.

We put a fixed price in writing once the design is agreed, and explain any provisional sums such as foundations.

Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Rugeley?

Here is how the rules in England apply to a bungalow rear extension in Rugeley.

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 Rugeley like to extend?

Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Rugeley. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.

How a bungalow rear extension in Rugeley comes together

1. Survey visit

   We visit free of charge, measure up, check access, drainage and neighbours' extensions, and note what you want the room to do.

2. Drawings and budget

   Floor plans and elevations for the options, each with a guide price.

3. Planning and regulations

   We take the design through the right planning route, then produce the construction drawings and engineer's calculations for building control.

4. Written price, then build

   Once the design and approvals are in place, you get a fixed written price and programme, and we build through to sign-off.
