Stafford is covered from our Staffordshire round, including ST16 and ST17. For Stafford bungalows we design the roof first, because the low eaves decide the height of the new room.

Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Stafford?
Planning for a bungalow rear extension in Stafford follows the English householder rules.
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.
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. 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 Stafford like to extend?
Stafford has a lot of post-war semis and estate houses with long gardens and side access, which makes rear extensions quicker to build.

FAQ
Bungalow rear extension questions in Stafford
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Stafford?
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 I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
Will the roof look odd?
Not if the pitch and tiles match. Where the eaves are low, a flat-roofed section with a lantern is an alternative.
Do I need a party wall agreement?
In England, usually yes if the extension is on or near a shared boundary or the foundations are close to a neighbour's building. We serve the notices.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Stafford house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
