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

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

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. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.

What are homes in Tynemouth like to extend?

Terraces and semis are typical around Tynemouth. On terraces a single-storey rear extension across the back yard is usually the practical choice; semis often have room for more. For bungalows in Tyne and Wear, a rear extension is the usual way to add space without adding stairs.

  2. Drawings and budget

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

  3. Paperwork handled

    Planning, prior approval or permitted development, Building Regulations approval, structural design and party wall notices are all handled by us.
