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

Kitchen-diner rear extension questions in Middleton
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 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.
How big should a kitchen-diner be?
Around 25 to 35 m² for the combined kitchen, dining and seating areas suits most family homes. Your survey shows what fits the house.
Is the site visit in Middleton free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
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.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Middleton?
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.
