Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Sutton Coldfield?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a bungalow rear extension in Sutton Coldfield.
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. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development, prior approval or a planning application.
What are homes in Sutton Coldfield like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Sutton Coldfield. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.
