Do you need planning permission for a single-storey rear extension in Bedworth?
The planning route for a single-storey rear extension in Bedworth is set by England's householder rules and your council.
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 Bedworth like to extend?
Bedworth has a lot of post-war semis and estate houses with long gardens and side access, which makes rear extensions quicker to build.

FAQ
Single-storey rear extension questions in Bedworth
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
Does it add value to the house?
Nationwide's October 2025 house price research found that a 10% increase in floor area is linked to about 5% higher value on average. It is a guide, not a promise; local agents can tell you what extended homes on your street sell for.
Is the site visit in Bedworth free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Bedworth house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
