Kitchen-diner rear extension in Stamford: an open-plan kitchen, dining and family room that opens straight onto the garden. We measure the house, show you what the rules allow, price it in writing and build it.
We cover Stamford (PE9) as part of our Lincolnshire work. For Stamford 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 Stamford?
The planning route for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Stamford 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 Stamford like to extend?
Stamford has plenty of inter-war semis and bungalows, and single-storey rear extensions suit both.

FAQ
Kitchen-diner rear extension questions in Stamford
What postcode areas do you cover around Stamford?
Including PE9, and the surrounding Lincolnshire area.
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.
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 Stamford?
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.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Stamford?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Stamford house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
