Covering Ryde
Site visits are available across Ryde (PO33). The same team covers Sandown (5 miles), Newport, Isle of Wight (6 miles), Cowes (6 miles), all within easy reach.
Homes across the South East range from Victorian terraces in the older town centres to large detached houses on the edges, so the right extension type varies street by street.
Who a bungalow extension suits
- Homeowners planning for later life
- Bungalows on larger plots
- Families wanting more space on one floor
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.
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.
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 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
Do you cover all of Ryde?
Yes. We cover Ryde and the surrounding parts of Isle of Wight. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Will my neighbours in Ryde 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.
How long does a bungalow extension take to build in Ryde?
On site, typically 10 to 18 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 6–14 weeks design and approvals.
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.
How much does a bungalow extension cost?
Our guide range for single-storey work is about £1,960 to £3,810 per m² including VAT. Going upwards is priced after a structural survey.
