Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Bloxwich?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a bungalow rear extension in Bloxwich.
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. 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 Bloxwich like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Bloxwich. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.

What postcode areas do you cover around Bloxwich?
Including WS2, WS3 and WV12, and the surrounding West Midlands area.

The rates are similar per square metre; roof work can add a little.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Bloxwich?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
Do you handle building control in Bloxwich?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
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.
