Single-storey rear extension in Kimberley
Ground-floor space across the back of the house, usually for a kitchen, dining or family room. We design, get the approvals for and build single-storey rear extensions in Kimberley and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
Kimberley is covered from our Nottinghamshire round, including DE7. A depth of 3 to 4 metres keeps many single-storey rear extensions in Kimberley within permitted development, subject to the house's planning history.

Do you need planning permission for a single-storey rear extension in Kimberley?
Planning for a single-storey rear extension in Kimberley 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.
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 Kimberley like to extend?
