Bungalow rear extension in Coventry
Bungalow rear extension in Coventry: 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.
Coventry sits in the West Midlands, with postcode districts including CV2, CV3, CV4 and CV5. For Coventry 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 Coventry?
Whether your bungalow rear extension in Coventry needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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. 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 Coventry like to extend?
Coventry 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 Coventry
Is the site visit in Coventry free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Coventry?
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 the roof look odd?
Not if the pitch and tiles match. Where the eaves are low, a flat-roofed section with a lantern is an alternative.
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.
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.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Coventry house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
