Planning rules that apply in Mangotsfield
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.
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.
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).
When a single-storey extension makes sense
- Terraced houses that want a deeper kitchen across the full width
- Semi-detached and detached houses with a usable rear garden
- Homeowners who want open-plan living onto the garden

Common questions in Mangotsfield
How long does a single-storey extension take to build in Mangotsfield?
On site, typically 10 to 16 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 4–12 weeks design and approvals.
Do you cover all of Mangotsfield?
Yes. We cover Mangotsfield and the surrounding parts of Gloucestershire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Who do I contract with for a single-storey extension in Mangotsfield?
Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which designs and manages the project and the build teams who carry it out.
How much does a single-storey extension cost per square metre?
Our guide range is about £1,780 to £3,470 per m² including VAT, depending on specification. A standard-spec 4 m × 5 m room usually lands at £41,500 to £53,500 in Mangotsfield, plus design and council fees.
Flat roof or pitched roof?
Flat roofs give more headroom inside and suit lanterns and rooflights; pitched roofs can blend better with older houses. Both meet building regulations when built properly. See our flat roof and pitched roof pages for the details.
