Will the council need to approve it?
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).
Covering Hadleigh
Site visits are available across Hadleigh (SS7, SS9). Nearby, we also take on projects in Benfleet (2 miles), Rayleigh (2 miles), Canvey Island (2 miles), Southend-on-Sea (5 miles).
For homes towards Kent, Gillingham is around 12 miles away. Across the East of England many houses sit on generous plots, and single-storey and wraparound extensions are a natural fit.
What we take care of
- Roof designs that tie into the existing hipped or gable roof
- Single-storey extension options assessed first
- Planning application where needed
- Level thresholds and accessible layouts
- Structural survey before any upward extension

Questions people ask about bungalow extensions
Who do I contract with for a bungalow extension in Hadleigh?
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 you cover all of Hadleigh?
Yes. We cover Hadleigh and the surrounding parts of Essex. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Do I need building regulations approval in Hadleigh?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
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.
