Do I need planning permission in Dudley?
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.
If the work involves a shared wall, building on the boundary, or digging foundations within 3 m (sometimes 6 m) of a neighbour's building, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies and notice must be served before work starts: two months for work to a party wall, one month for new walls on the boundary and for excavations.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

Working in Dudley
We cover Dudley and the postcode districts B64, B65, B69, DY1, DY2, DY5. The same team covers Brierley Hill (2 miles), Tipton (2 miles), Kingswinford (4 miles), Halesowen (4 miles), all within easy reach.
For homes towards Worcestershire, Kidderminster is around 10 miles away. The West Midlands has a large stock of 1930s and post-war semi-detached houses, which are well suited to rear, side and over-garage extensions, plus Victorian terraces in the older inner areas.
When a bungalow extension makes sense
- Homeowners planning for later life
- Families wanting more space on one floor
- Bungalows on larger plots
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.

Bungalow extension questions answered
Do you cover all of Dudley?

Do I need building regulations approval in Dudley?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Who do I contract with for a bungalow extension in Dudley?
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.
How much does a bungalow extension cost?
Our guide range for single-storey work is about £1,700 to £3,300 per m² including VAT. Going upwards is priced after a structural survey.
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.
