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

Whether your bungalow rear extension in Solihull needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.

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.

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 Solihull like to extend?

Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Solihull. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.

How a bungalow rear extension in Solihull comes together

1. Survey visit

   We visit free of charge, measure up, check access, drainage and neighbours' extensions, and note what you want the room to do.

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. Build and sign-off

   We build to the approved drawings with regular updates, then hand over the building control completion certificate and any guarantees from suppliers.
