Planning rules that apply in Woodford Green
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.
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).
Local to Woodford Green
Postcode districts we cover around Woodford Green include E4, E18, IG8. Nearby, we also take on projects in Chingford (2 miles), Walthamstow (2 miles), Leytonstone (3 miles), Edmonton (4 miles).
Just over the Essex border, Waltham Abbey is about 5 miles away. In London, space is at a premium and gardens are often short, so side returns, wraparounds and carefully planned rear extensions tend to make the most of every metre.
When a bungalow extension makes sense
- Homeowners planning for later life
- Families wanting more space on one floor
- Bungalows on larger plots
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.
