Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Bishops Cleeve?
Whether your kitchen-diner rear extension in Bishops Cleeve needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
What are homes in Bishops Cleeve like to extend?
Bishops Cleeve has Victorian terraces nearer the centre and post-war semis on the edges. Sloping gardens are frequent, which affects floor levels and steps down to the patio.

FAQ
Kitchen-diner rear extension questions in Bishops Cleeve
How long does a rear extension take to build in Bishops Cleeve?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
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.
Can I add a utility room?
Often. A narrow utility or boot room along one side keeps the washing machine out of the open-plan space.
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Bishops Cleeve house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
