Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Snodland?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a kitchen-diner rear extension in Snodland.
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 Snodland like to extend?
Snodland has a mix of Victorian terraces near the centre and larger Edwardian and inter-war houses further out. Clay soils across much of the South East mean deeper foundations near trees, which we plan for at the survey.

FAQ
Kitchen-diner rear extension questions in Snodland
Is the site visit in Snodland free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
Can I add a utility room?
Often. A narrow utility or boot room along one side keeps the washing machine out of the open-plan space.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Snodland 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 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.
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.
