Kitchen-diner rear extension in Wellington
For homes in Wellington, 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.
Wellington is covered from our Shropshire round, including TF1 and TF5. A kitchen-diner is often the reason people in Wellington extend: the back kitchen in post-war semis and estate houses is rarely big enough for a table.

Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Wellington?
Planning for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Wellington 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. 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 Wellington like to extend?
Wellington has a lot of post-war semis and estate houses with long gardens and side access, which makes rear extensions quicker to build.
