Planning rules that apply in Edmonton
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.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
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).

What we take care of
- Level thresholds and accessible layouts
- Structural survey before any upward extension
- Single-storey extension options assessed first
- Planning application where needed
- Roof designs that tie into the existing hipped or gable roof
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.
Local to Edmonton
We cover Edmonton and the postcode districts EN1, N9, N13, N17, N18, N21. We also work in nearby Ponders End (1 mile), Tottenham (2 miles), Enfield (2 miles), Palmers Green (2 miles).
In London, space is at a premium and gardens are often short, so side returns, wraparounds and carefully planned rear extensions tend to make the most of every metre.

Build and sign-off
The build is managed from start to finish, inspected at each stage and signed off on completion.
Bungalow extension questions answered
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Edmonton, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Do you cover all of Edmonton?
Yes. We cover Edmonton and the surrounding parts of Greater London. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Will my neighbours in Edmonton be involved?
If a planning application or prior approval is needed, the council notifies neighbours. If the work is on or near a shared boundary, party wall notices may also be needed.
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.
