- Drainage and services designed for sinks, island and appliances
- Roof lantern or rooflights positioned over the work zones
- Kitchen fitting by our team or coordination with your supplier
- Kitchen-led layout planning before the drawings are fixed

Planning and approvals in Batley
In England a single-storey rear extension can usually go up to 3 m beyond the original rear wall of a semi-detached or terraced house, or 4 m on a detached house, without a planning application, provided it is no more than 4 m high, keeps eaves to 3 m within 2 m of a boundary and, with other buildings, covers no more than half the land around the original house. The larger home extension prior approval scheme raises those depths to 6 m and 8 m, with neighbours notified and a 42-day decision.
Homes in conservation areas, national parks, National Landscapes (formerly AONBs), the Broads and World Heritage Sites have tighter rules, so we always check the property's status and planning history before design starts.
Building regulations approval is separate from planning. In England you can use the council's building control team or a registered building control approver; a full plans application gets the drawings checked before work starts, and the inspector signs the work off with a completion certificate.
Building over or within 3 m of a public sewer needs the water company's consent, usually through a build-over agreement, before the foundations go in.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
Covering Batley
Postcode districts we cover around Batley include WF12, WF13, WF15, WF16, WF17. We also work in nearby Dewsbury (1 mile), Heckmondwike (2 miles), Liversedge (2 miles), Ossett (3 miles).
For homes towards South Yorkshire, Darton is around 9 miles away. Yorkshire and the Humber combines stone-built terraces in the Pennine towns with brick semis and newer estates elsewhere, so materials and roof details need matching with care.

Kitchen extension questions answered
Do I need building regulations approval in Batley?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Batley, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Who do I contract with for a kitchen extension in Batley?
Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which designs and manages the project and the build teams who carry it out.
Where should the island go?
Usually under the brightest part of the roof and away from the main walkway to the garden. We test two or three layouts on the plan before deciding.
How much does a kitchen extension cost?
For the extension itself our guide range is about £1,690 to £3,290 per m² including VAT. A standard 20 m² kitchen extension is typically around £39,000 to £50,000 in Batley, plus the kitchen itself, which commonly adds £9,000 to £20,000 for a mid-range design.
