We put a fixed price in writing once the design is agreed, and explain any provisional sums such as foundations.
Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Bradwell?
Whether your kitchen-diner rear extension in Bradwell needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development, prior approval or a planning application.
What are homes in Bradwell like to extend?

FAQ
Kitchen-diner rear extension questions in Bradwell
How much does a kitchen-diner rear extension cost in Bradwell?
As a guide, £2,010–£3,290 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. For example, 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²): about £24,000–£39,500 at that rate. Your written price follows the survey.
Do you handle building control in Bradwell?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
Should the sink face the garden?
If the plan allows, an island sink or hob facing the glass is a common choice. It needs a floor-level drain run, which is easy to lay in a new slab.
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.
Is the site visit in Bradwell free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Bradwell?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
