Kitchen-diner rear extension in Hucknall
For homes in Hucknall, a kitchen-diner rear extension is often the simplest way to gain space without moving. An open-plan kitchen, dining and family room that opens straight onto the garden. We take it from survey to completion certificate.
We cover Hucknall (NG15 and NG16) as part of our Nottinghamshire 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 Hucknall homes.

Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Hucknall?
Whether your kitchen-diner rear extension in Hucknall needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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.
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 Hucknall like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and semis are typical of Hucknall. Coal-mining legacy areas in parts of the East Midlands can need a Coal Authority check before foundations are designed.
