Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Cheadle Hulme?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a kitchen-diner rear extension in Cheadle Hulme.
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. 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 Cheadle Hulme like to extend?
Stone and brick terraces are common around Cheadle Hulme. Where houses back onto a ginnel or alley, deliveries can come in from the rear, which makes the build tidier.

FAQ
Kitchen-diner rear extension questions in Cheadle Hulme
Do you handle building control in Cheadle Hulme?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
Is the site visit in Cheadle Hulme free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Where does the cooker extraction go?
Through the new wall or roof, ducted to outside. Recirculating hoods are possible but less effective.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Cheadle Hulme?
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.
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.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Cheadle Hulme house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
