When a bungalow extension makes sense

- Homeowners planning for later life
- Families wanting more space on one floor
Do I need planning permission in Hucknall?
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.
Building over or within 3 m of a public sewer needs the water company's consent, usually through a build-over agreement, before the foundations go in.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

Bungalow extension questions answered
Will my neighbours in Hucknall 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.
Do you cover all of Hucknall?
Yes. We cover Hucknall and the surrounding parts of Nottinghamshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Do I need building regulations approval in Hucknall?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
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.
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.
