Planning rules that apply in Hanworth
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.
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).

Included in a typical project
- Roof lantern or rooflights positioned over the work zones
- Extraction routes and ventilation for building regulations
- Wide sliding or bifold doors to the garden
- Kitchen fitting by our team or coordination with your supplier
- Drainage and services designed for sinks, island and appliances
- Kitchen-led layout planning before the drawings are fixed
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.
Extensions in and around Hanworth
Postcode districts we cover around Hanworth include TW2, TW12, TW13, TW14. The same team covers Hampton (2 miles), Feltham (2 miles), Hounslow (3 miles), Isleworth (3 miles), all within easy reach.
West Molesey, in Surrey, is roughly 2 miles from Hanworth and also on our list. London's housing is dominated by Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many with a rear outrigger and a side return, and 1930s semis in the outer boroughs. Conservation areas are common, so the planning check comes first.

Questions people ask about kitchen extensions
Who do I contract with for a kitchen extension in Hanworth?
Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which designs and manages the project and the build teams who carry it out.
Will my neighbours in Hanworth 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 I need building regulations approval in Hanworth?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
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.
How much does a kitchen extension cost?
For the extension itself our guide range is about £2,340 to £4,550 per m² including VAT. A standard 20 m² kitchen extension is typically around £54,500 to £69,000 in Hanworth, plus the kitchen itself, which commonly adds £9,000 to £20,000 for a mid-range design.
