Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Bromsgrove?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a bungalow rear extension in Bromsgrove.
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.
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. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.
What are homes in Bromsgrove like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Bromsgrove. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.
