Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Heckmondwike?
Whether your bungalow rear extension in Heckmondwike 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 Heckmondwike like to extend?
Heckmondwike has through terraces and some back-to-backs as well as later semis; back-to-backs have little or no rear space, so we look at side or loft options there.
