Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Shepperton?
Planning for a bungalow rear extension in Shepperton 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. 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 Shepperton like to extend?
Commuter semis and detached houses make up much of Shepperton, and longer gardens make England's prior approval route for deeper rear extensions worth considering.

FAQ
Bungalow rear extension questions in Shepperton
What postcode areas do you cover around Shepperton?
Including KT13, TW16 and TW17, and the surrounding Surrey area.
Do you handle building control in Shepperton?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
Do I need to move out?
Rarely; the opening into the bungalow is made late in the build.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Shepperton?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
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.
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.
