Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Yate?
The planning route for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Yate is set by England's householder rules and your council.
Under England's householder permitted development rules you can usually add 3 metres at the back of an attached house, or 4 metres on a detached house, without a planning application, as long as the extension stays under 4 metres high and its eaves stay under 3 metres where it is within 2 metres of a boundary.
If 3 or 4 metres is not enough, England's prior approval route allows 6 metres on a terraced or semi-detached house and 8 metres on a detached house for a single-storey rear extension. Neighbours are consulted, the council decides within 42 days, and the fee is £249, rising to £310 from 8 December 2026.
Conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads restrict permitted development, and listed buildings always need listed building consent. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.
What are homes in Yate like to extend?
Stone-built and rendered houses are common around Yate, so matching the walling is a design decision in its own right: natural stone, reconstituted stone or a render finish across old and new.

FAQ
Kitchen-diner rear extension questions in Yate
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Yate?
Often not for a single-storey rear extension of up to 3 metres (4 metres on a detached house) under permitted development, or up to 6 or 8 metres with prior approval, unless the house is in a conservation area or its rights have been removed.
Do I need a party wall agreement?
In England, usually yes if the extension is on or near a shared boundary or the foundations are close to a neighbour's building. We serve the notices.
Do you fit the kitchen?
Yes, whether you buy it yourself or we supply it. We take the measurements from the built shell, not the drawings.
How much does a kitchen-diner rear extension cost in Yate?
As a guide, £1,980–£3,220 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. For example, 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²): about £23,500–£38,500 at that rate. Your written price follows the survey.
Who will build my extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
