Kitchen-diner rear extension in Kidderminster
For homes in Kidderminster, 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 Kidderminster (DY10 and DY11) as part of our Worcestershire work. We usually keep the working kitchen where the old one was and put the dining table in the new space by the doors, which suits most Kidderminster homes.

Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Kidderminster?
Whether your kitchen-diner rear extension in Kidderminster 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.
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 Kidderminster like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Kidderminster. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.

FAQ
Kitchen-diner rear extension questions in Kidderminster
Can you match the brick or stone on my Kidderminster house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
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.
Can I add a utility room?
Often. A narrow utility or boot room along one side keeps the washing machine out of the open-plan space.
Do you handle building control in Kidderminster?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
Is the site visit in Kidderminster free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
