Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Shepherds Bush?
Planning for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Shepherds Bush follows the English householder rules.
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. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.
What are homes in Shepherds Bush like to extend?
Period terraces in Shepherds Bush sit alongside flats, and the difference matters: houses usually keep permitted development rights, while flats and maisonettes need planning permission for any rear extension.

FAQ
Kitchen-diner rear extension questions in Shepherds Bush
Is the site visit in Shepherds Bush free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Who will build my extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
Can I have underfloor heating?
Yes. Wet underfloor heating in the new screed is the usual choice, often with the old room's radiators kept or replaced.
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 Shepherds Bush house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Shepherds Bush?
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.
