Planning rules that apply in Bingley
In England a single-storey rear extension can usually go up to 3 m beyond the original rear wall of a semi-detached or terraced house, or 4 m on a detached house, without a planning application, provided it is no more than 4 m high, keeps eaves to 3 m within 2 m of a boundary and, with other buildings, covers no more than half the land around the original house. The larger home extension prior approval scheme raises those depths to 6 m and 8 m, with neighbours notified and a 42-day decision.
The planning position for a specific Bingley address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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.
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).

Home office extension questions answered
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Bingley, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
How long does a home office extension take to build in Bingley?
On site, typically 8 to 12 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 4–10 weeks design and approvals.
Do you cover all of Bingley?
Yes. We cover Bingley and the surrounding parts of West Yorkshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
How much does a home office extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,740 to £3,200 per m² including VAT. An 11 m² standard-spec office is typically £22,000 to £28,000 in Bingley.
Is an attached office better than a garden office?
An attached office shares the house heating and broadband, adds floor area to the home, and needs no garden path in the rain. A garden building can be cheaper and quicker but is a separate structure.
