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

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

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. 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 Halesowen like to extend?

Halesowen 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 Halesowen

What postcode areas do you cover around Halesowen?

Including B62, B63 and DY9, and the surrounding West Midlands area.

Can you match the brick or stone on my Halesowen house?

We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.

Is a bungalow extension cheaper?

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

Do you handle building control in Halesowen?

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

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.

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.
