Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Churchdown?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a kitchen-diner rear extension in Churchdown.
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.
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 Churchdown like to extend?
Stone-built and rendered houses are common around Churchdown, so matching the walling is a design decision in its own right: natural stone, reconstituted stone or a render finish across old and new.
