Kitchen-diner rear extension in Honiton
An open-plan kitchen, dining and family room that opens straight onto the garden. We design, get the approvals for and build kitchen-diner rear extensions in Honiton and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
Honiton is covered from our Devon round, including EX14. For Honiton kitchens we plan the extraction route and the island drainage before the slab is poured, so nothing has to be chased in later.

These are guide ranges; the written quote after the survey is the figure that counts.
Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Honiton?
The planning route for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Honiton is set by England's householder rules and your council.
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.
England also has the larger home extension route: a single-storey rear extension of up to 6 metres on an attached house or 8 metres on a detached house, after prior approval from the council. The council notifies your neighbours and has 42 days to decide; the fee is £249 (£310 for applications made from 8 December 2026). The route is not available on designated land such as conservation areas.
Conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads restrict permitted development, and listed buildings always need listed building consent. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development, prior approval or a planning application.
What are homes in Honiton like to extend?
Stone-built and rendered houses are common around Honiton, 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 Honiton
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Honiton?
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.
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.
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.
Is the site visit in Honiton free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Do you handle building control in Honiton?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Honiton?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
