Bungalow rear extension in Rugby

Bungalow rear extension in Rugby: single-storey rear extensions that keep everything on one level. We measure the house, show you what the rules allow, price it in writing and build it.

Rugby is covered from our Warwickshire round, including CV21 and CV22. For Rugby bungalows we design the roof first, because the low eaves decide the height of the new room.

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

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

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.

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. 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 Rugby like to extend?

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

  1. Free site visit

    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

    We draw layout options and price each one, so the budget shapes the design rather than surprising you later.

  3. Approvals

    Permitted development check, prior approval or planning application, then Building Regulations drawings and structural calculations, plus party wall notices where they apply.

  4. Written price, then build

    Once the design and approvals are in place, you get a fixed written price and programme, and we build through to sign-off.

FAQ

Bungalow rear extension questions in Rugby

What postcode areas do you cover around Rugby?

Including CV21 and CV22, and the surrounding Warwickshire area.

Do I need a party wall agreement?

In England, usually yes if the extension is on or near a shared boundary or the foundations are close to a neighbour's building. We serve the notices.

How deep can I extend?

The same limits as a house: 3 or 4 metres in England, more with prior approval.

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.

Is the site visit in Rugby free?

Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.

Do you handle building control in Rugby?

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