Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Nuneaton?
The planning route for a bungalow rear extension in Nuneaton is set by England's householder rules and your council.
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.
England also has the larger home extension route: a single-storey rear extension of up to 6 metres on an attached house or 8 metres on a detached house, after prior approval from the council. The council notifies your neighbours and has 42 days to decide; the fee is £249 (£310 for applications made from 8 December 2026). The route is not available on designated land such as conservation areas.
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 Nuneaton like to extend?
Nuneaton 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 Nuneaton
Is the site visit in Nuneaton free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
What postcode areas do you cover around Nuneaton?
Including CV10 and CV11, and the surrounding Warwickshire area.
Can I extend the loft as well?
Sometimes, but that is a different project; a rear extension keeps everything on one level.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Nuneaton?
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.
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.
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.
