Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Oakwood?
Whether your kitchen-diner rear extension in Oakwood needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
English permitted development (Class A) allows a single-storey rear extension of 3 metres on a terraced or semi-detached house and 4 metres on a detached one, measured from the original house, with a maximum height of 4 metres and eaves of no more than 3 metres 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 Oakwood like to extend?

FAQ
Kitchen-diner rear extension questions in Oakwood
Can you match the brick or stone on my Oakwood house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Oakwood?
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.
Should the sink face the garden?
If the plan allows, an island sink or hob facing the glass is a common choice. It needs a floor-level drain run, which is easy to lay in a new slab.
