Hyde kitchen extensions, designed and built
A kitchen extension in Hyde starts with the right design and the right approval route. We take care of both, then build it with our own project management.

Who a kitchen extension suits
- Small or closed-off kitchens
- Homes being prepared for sale or a long-term stay
- Families who want cooking, dining and living together
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 Hyde
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).
Working in Hyde
Our survey diary covers Hyde, including M34, SK14, SK16. Neighbouring towns we cover include Denton (2 miles), Dukinfield (2 miles), Stalybridge (2 miles), Ashton-under-Lyne (3 miles).
Wilmslow, in Cheshire, is roughly 11 miles from Hyde and also on our list. Across the North West, terraced houses with small rear yards suit compact rear and side return extensions, while suburban semis have room for more.

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.
