What is included
- Wide sliding or bifold doors to the garden
- Drainage and services designed for sinks, island and appliances
- Kitchen-led layout planning before the drawings are fixed
- Roof lantern or rooflights positioned over the work zones
- Extraction routes and ventilation for building regulations
- Kitchen fitting by our team or coordination with your supplier
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.
Will the council need to approve it?
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.
In a conservation area, national park, National Landscape, the Broads or a World Heritage Site the permitted development limits are tighter (no side or two-storey extensions without an application). Listed homes need listed building consent, and if permitted development rights have been removed, any extension needs an application.
If the work involves a shared wall, building on the boundary, or digging foundations within 3 m (sometimes 6 m) of a neighbour's building, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies and notice must be served before work starts: two months for work to a party wall, one month for new walls on the boundary and for excavations.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
Extensions in and around Cleckheaton
Site visits are available across Cleckheaton (BD19, WF15, WF16). Nearby, we also take on projects in Liversedge (2 miles), Heckmondwike (2 miles), Brighouse (3 miles), Batley (4 miles).
Just over the South Yorkshire border, Darton is about 12 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.
