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

Planning for a bungalow rear extension in Kenilworth 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. 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 Kenilworth like to extend?

Kenilworth has a lot of post-war semis and estate houses with long gardens and side access, which makes rear extensions quicker to build.

    We measure the house and garden, look at the back wall, drainage and boundaries, and talk through what you want from the space.

  2. Options and costs

FAQ

Bungalow rear extension questions in Kenilworth

How long does a rear extension take to build in Kenilworth?

Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.

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.

Is a bungalow extension cheaper?

The rates are similar per square metre; roof work can add a little.

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.

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.

Do you handle building control in Kenilworth?

Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
