Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Guisborough?
Planning for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Guisborough follows the English householder rules.
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.
England also has the larger home extension route: a single-storey rear extension of up to 6 metres on an attached house or 8 metres on a detached house, after prior approval from the council. The council notifies your neighbours and has 42 days to decide; the fee is £249 (£310 for applications made from 8 December 2026). The route is not available on designated land such as conservation areas.
Conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads restrict permitted development, and listed buildings always need listed building consent. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
What are homes in Guisborough like to extend?
Terraces and semis are typical around Guisborough. On terraces a single-storey rear extension across the back yard is usually the practical choice; semis often have room for more.

FAQ
Kitchen-diner rear extension questions in Guisborough
Is the site visit in Guisborough free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Guisborough house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Do you fit the kitchen?
Yes, whether you buy it yourself or we supply it. We take the measurements from the built shell, not the drawings.
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.
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.
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.
