Planning rules that apply in Atherstone
In England a single-storey extension to a bungalow follows the normal permitted development limits (3 m or 4 m, or 6 m and 8 m through prior approval). Adding a first floor always needs planning permission.
In a conservation area, national park, National Landscape, the Broads or a World Heritage Site the permitted development limits are tighter (no side or two-storey extensions without an application). Listed homes need listed building consent, and if permitted development rights have been removed, any extension needs an application.
Building regulations approval is separate from planning. In England you can use the council's building control team or a registered building control approver; a full plans application gets the drawings checked before work starts, and the inspector signs the work off with a completion certificate.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

Covering Atherstone
Across CV9, we can visit, measure and advise. The same team covers Nuneaton (6 miles), Bedworth (8 miles), Kenilworth (16 miles), Rugby (19 miles), all within easy reach.
For homes towards Staffordshire, Tamworth is around 7 miles away. Across the West Midlands, brick-built semis with long gardens are common, so single-storey and two-storey rear extensions are popular choices.
Included in a typical project
- Level thresholds and accessible layouts
- Structural survey before any upward extension
- Planning application where needed
- Roof designs that tie into the existing hipped or gable roof
- Single-storey extension options assessed first
Bungalow roofs are often hipped, which makes tying in an extension roof a careful job. We draw the roof junction early because it drives both the look and the cost.

Common questions in Atherstone
Who do I contract with for a bungalow extension in Atherstone?
Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which designs and manages the project and the build teams who carry it out.
Do I need building regulations approval in Atherstone?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Do you cover all of Atherstone?
Yes. We cover Atherstone and the surrounding parts of Warwickshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Can I extend a bungalow without planning permission?
In England a single-storey rear extension to a bungalow follows the same permitted development limits as a house: 3 m or 4 m, or up to 6 m or 8 m through prior approval. Adding a storey always needs planning permission.
Is it better to extend sideways or upwards?
Sideways and rearwards is usually simpler, cheaper and keeps single-level living. Upwards saves garden but means stairs, more structure and planning permission.
