Bungalow rear extension in Wolverhampton
We plan and build rear extensions for bungalows for homeowners in Wolverhampton. Single-storey rear extensions that keep everything on one level. Start with a free site visit, then a written price once the design is agreed.
We cover Wolverhampton (WV2, WV3, WV4 and WV6) as part of our West Midlands work. For Wolverhampton 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 Wolverhampton?
Whether your bungalow rear extension in Wolverhampton 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 Wolverhampton like to extend?
Wolverhampton has a lot of post-war semis and estate houses with long gardens and side access, which makes rear extensions quicker to build.
