Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Shrewsbury?
Planning for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Shrewsbury follows the English householder rules.
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 Shrewsbury like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Shrewsbury. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to. A kitchen-diner is often the reason people in Shrewsbury extend: the back kitchen in red-brick terraces and 1930s semis is rarely big enough for a table.

FAQ
Kitchen-diner rear extension questions in Shrewsbury
Is the site visit in Shrewsbury 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 Shrewsbury house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
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.
What postcode areas do you cover around Shrewsbury?
Including SY1, SY2 and SY3, and the surrounding Shropshire area.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Shrewsbury?
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.
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.
