Planning rules that apply in Norwich
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).

Questions people ask about bungalow extensions
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Norwich, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.

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 £1,860 to £3,600 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.
