Is a kitchen extension right for your house?
- Families who want cooking, dining and living together
- Homes being prepared for sale or a long-term stay
- Small or closed-off kitchens
We start with the working triangle and the island, then set the doors, glazing and roof lights around it. Getting this order right avoids the classic mistakes: a sink against a blank wall, glare on the hob or a fridge blocking the garden view.
Planning and approvals in Bromsgrove
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).

Halesowen, in West Midlands, is roughly 8 miles from Bromsgrove and also on our list. The West Midlands has a large stock of 1930s and post-war semi-detached houses, which are well suited to rear, side and over-garage extensions, plus Victorian terraces in the older inner areas.

Your questions about a kitchen extension in Bromsgrove
Will my neighbours in Bromsgrove 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 Bromsgrove?
Yes. We cover Bromsgrove and the surrounding parts of Worcestershire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
How long does a kitchen extension take to build in Bromsgrove?
On site, typically 10 to 16 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 4–12 weeks design and approvals.
How much does a kitchen extension cost?
For the extension itself our guide range is about £1,750 to £3,400 per m² including VAT. A standard 20 m² kitchen extension is typically around £40,500 to £51,500 in Bromsgrove, plus the kitchen itself, which commonly adds £9,000 to £20,000 for a mid-range design.
Can you fit a kitchen I buy elsewhere?
Yes. We can fit it or work with your supplier’s fitters. We need the layout early so that drains, services and lighting are in the right place.
