Kitchen-diner rear extension in Ashby-de-la-Zouch
An open-plan kitchen, dining and family room that opens straight onto the garden. We design, get the approvals for and build kitchen-diner rear extensions in Ashby-de-la-Zouch and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
We cover Ashby-de-la-Zouch (LE65) as part of our Leicestershire and Rutland work. We usually keep the working kitchen where the old one was and put the dining table in the new space by the doors, which suits most Ashby-de-la-Zouch homes.

Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Ashby-de-la-Zouch?
The planning route for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Ashby-de-la-Zouch is set by England's householder rules and your council.
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.
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 Ashby-de-la-Zouch like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and semis are typical of Ashby-de-la-Zouch. Coal-mining legacy areas in parts of the East Midlands can need a Coal Authority check before foundations are designed.

FAQ
Kitchen-diner rear extension questions in Ashby-de-la-Zouch
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.
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 add a utility room?
Often. A narrow utility or boot room along one side keeps the washing machine out of the open-plan space.
Do you handle building control in Ashby-de-la-Zouch?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
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.
