Kitchen-diner rear extension in Elland
For homes in Elland, 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 Elland (HD6, HX4 and HX5) as part of our West Yorkshire work. A kitchen-diner is often the reason people in Elland extend: the back kitchen in stone terraces and brick semis is rarely big enough for a table.

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