Planning and approvals in Calne
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.
The planning position for a specific Calne address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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).
When a kitchen extension makes sense
- Homes being prepared for sale or a long-term stay
- Small or closed-off kitchens
- Families who want cooking, dining and living together
Working in Calne
We cover Calne and the postcode districts SN11. Neighbouring towns we cover include Chippenham (6 miles), Devizes (7 miles), Melksham (8 miles), Trowbridge (12 miles).
In the South West, local stone, render and brick vary from town to town, so matching materials is a big part of designing an extension that looks right.

Kitchen extension questions answered
Do you cover all of Calne?
Yes. We cover Calne and the surrounding parts of Wiltshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
How long does a kitchen extension take to build in Calne?
On site, typically 10 to 16 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 4–12 weeks design and approvals.
Will my neighbours in Calne 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.
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.
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.
