Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Wimborne Minster?
Planning for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Wimborne Minster follows the English householder rules.
In England a single-storey rear extension can often be built under permitted development: up to 3 metres beyond the original rear wall of an attached house, or 4 metres on a detached house, no higher than 4 metres, with eaves no higher than 3 metres if any part is 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 Wimborne Minster like to extend?
Stone-built and rendered houses are common around Wimborne Minster, so matching the walling is a design decision in its own right: natural stone, reconstituted stone or a render finish across old and new.

Kitchen-diner rear extension questions in Wimborne Minster
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Wimborne Minster?
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.
