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.
The planning position for a specific Earley 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.
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).
Extensions in and around Earley
Postcode districts we cover around Earley include RG2, RG5, RG6. The same team covers Reading (3 miles), Wokingham (4 miles), Crowthorne (7 miles), Bracknell (7 miles), all within easy reach.
Yateley, in Hampshire, is roughly 7 miles from Earley and also on our list. Homes across the South East range from Victorian terraces in the older town centres to large detached houses on the edges, so the right extension type varies street by street.

Your questions about a kitchen extension in Earley
Do you cover all of Earley?
Yes. We cover Earley and the surrounding parts of Berkshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
How long does a kitchen extension take to build in Earley?
On site, typically 10 to 16 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 4–12 weeks design and approvals.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Earley, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
How much does a kitchen extension cost?
For the extension itself our guide range is about £2,020 to £3,920 per m² including VAT. A standard 20 m² kitchen extension is typically around £47,000 to £59,500 in Earley, plus the kitchen itself, which commonly adds £9,000 to £20,000 for a mid-range design.
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.
