Working in Tynemouth
Across NE25, NE26, NE29, NE30, NE33, NE34, we can visit, measure and advise. We also work in nearby North Shields (1 mile), South Shields (1 mile), Whitley Bay (2 miles), Jarrow (3 miles).
Cramlington, in Northumberland, is roughly 8 miles from Tynemouth and also on our list. The North East has many brick terraces, colliery-era housing and post-war semis, with rear extensions and kitchen extensions the most common requests.
Do I need planning permission in Tynemouth?
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).

Your questions about a bungalow extension in Tynemouth
Do you cover all of Tynemouth?
Yes. We cover Tynemouth and the surrounding parts of Tyne and Wear. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Tynemouth, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Will my neighbours in Tynemouth 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.
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.
