Kitchen-diner rear extension in Glen Parva
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 Glen Parva and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
Glen Parva is covered from our Leicestershire and Rutland round, including LE8, LE18 and LE19. For Glen Parva kitchens we plan the extraction route and the island drainage before the slab is poured, so nothing has to be chased in later.

Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Glen Parva?
The planning route for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Glen Parva is set by England's householder rules and your council.
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.
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 Glen Parva like to extend?
Glen Parva has plenty of inter-war semis and bungalows, and single-storey rear extensions suit both.

FAQ
Kitchen-diner rear extension questions in Glen Parva
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.
How much does a kitchen-diner rear extension cost in Glen Parva?
As a guide, £1,840–£3,010 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. For example, 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²): about £22,000–£36,000 at that rate. Your written price follows the survey.
Where does the cooker extraction go?
Through the new wall or roof, ducted to outside. Recirculating hoods are possible but less effective.
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.
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.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Glen Parva house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
