Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Newcastle upon Tyne?
Planning for a bungalow rear extension in Newcastle upon Tyne follows the English householder rules.
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. 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 Newcastle upon Tyne like to extend?
Brick terraces, colliery houses and post-war semis make up much of Newcastle upon Tyne. Former mining areas often need a coal mining risk check before foundations are designed.
