Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Rastrick?
Whether your kitchen-diner rear extension in Rastrick needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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.
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. 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 Rastrick like to extend?
Stone terraces and brick semis are typical of Rastrick. 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 Rastrick
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
Can I have underfloor heating?
Yes. Wet underfloor heating in the new screed is the usual choice, often with the old room's radiators kept or replaced.
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.
