Local to Radcliffe
Across M26, M45, we can visit, measure and advise. The same team covers Whitefield (1 mile), Prestwich (3 miles), Bury (3 miles), Farnworth (3 miles), all within easy reach.
The North West has a high share of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with rear yards and outriggers, plus large areas of inter-war semis in the suburbs.
Do I need planning permission in Radcliffe?
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.
The planning position for a specific Radcliffe address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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.
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).

Your questions about a bungalow extension in Radcliffe
Who do I contract with for a bungalow extension in Radcliffe?

On site, typically 10 to 18 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 6–14 weeks design and approvals.

How much does a bungalow extension cost?

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.
