Planning and approvals in West Yorkshire
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 West Yorkshire 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).

Included in a typical project
- Roof lantern or rooflights positioned over the work zones
- Wide sliding or bifold doors to the garden
- Kitchen fitting by our team or coordination with your supplier
- Extraction routes and ventilation for building regulations
- Kitchen-led layout planning before the drawings are fixed
- Drainage and services designed for sinks, island and appliances
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.
