Covering Belper
We cover Belper and the postcode districts DE56. We also work in nearby Ripley (3 miles), Heanor (5 miles), Alfreton (7 miles), Derby (7 miles).
Just over the Nottinghamshire border, Eastwood is about 8 miles away. Homes across the East Midlands often have usable side land or a driveway beside the house, which opens up side and wraparound options.
Do I need planning permission in Belper?
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.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
Our process, step by step
Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.
Free site visit
First, a site visit: we look at the house, garden, access and drains and listen to what you need.
Design and approvals
Once the layout is agreed, we deal with the council: planning permission or written confirmation that none is needed, plus building control.
Fixed written price
You receive a written, itemised price and programme. Nothing starts until you are happy with it.
Build and sign-off
Work is carried out to the agreed programme, inspected by building control and signed off at the end.
Your questions about a kitchen extension in Belper
Will my neighbours in Belper be involved?
If a planning application or prior approval is needed, the council notifies neighbours. If the work is on or near a shared boundary, party wall notices may also be needed.
Do you cover all of Belper?
Yes. We cover Belper and the surrounding parts of Derbyshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
How long does a kitchen extension take to build in Belper?
On site, typically 10 to 16 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 4–12 weeks design and approvals.
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 £1,710 to £3,320 per m² including VAT. A standard 20 m² kitchen extension is typically around £39,500 to £50,500 in Belper, plus the kitchen itself, which commonly adds £9,000 to £20,000 for a mid-range design.
