Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Brighouse?
Planning for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Brighouse follows the English householder rules.
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.
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 Brighouse like to extend?
Stone terraces and brick semis are typical of Brighouse. Matching sandstone or gritstone on a terrace is one of the biggest cost variables, and reclaimed stone is often the best match.

FAQ
Kitchen-diner rear extension questions in Brighouse
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Brighouse?
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.
Who will build my extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
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 you match the brick or stone on my Brighouse house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
What postcode areas do you cover around Brighouse?
Including HD6, HX3 and HX5, and the surrounding West Yorkshire area.
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.
