Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Fulham?
Whether your kitchen-diner rear extension in Fulham 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. 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 Fulham like to extend?
Much of Fulham is Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing with narrow back additions, which suits side returns, wraparounds and 3 metre rear extensions. Many streets are in conservation areas, gardens are short, and almost everything comes through the house or along a rear alley.

FAQ
Kitchen-diner rear extension questions in Fulham
How much does a kitchen-diner rear extension cost in Fulham?
As a guide, £2,470–£4,030 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. For example, 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²): about £29,500–£48,500 at that rate. Your written price follows the survey.
What postcode areas do you cover around Fulham?
Including SW5, SW6 and SW10, and the surrounding Greater London area.
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.
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.
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Fulham house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
