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 Winsford address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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.
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).
Local to Winsford
Site visits are available across Winsford (CW7). Neighbouring towns we cover include Northwich (5 miles), Crewe (7 miles), Congleton (13 miles), Runcorn (13 miles).
For homes towards Staffordshire, Kidsgrove is around 14 miles away. Across the North West, terraced houses with small rear yards suit compact rear and side return extensions, while suburban semis have room for more.
When a kitchen extension makes sense
- Homes being prepared for sale or a long-term stay
- Families who want cooking, dining and living together
- Small or closed-off kitchens
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.

Questions people ask about kitchen extensions
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Winsford, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Do I need building regulations approval in Winsford?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Will my neighbours in Winsford 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.
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 £1,710 to £3,320 per m² including VAT. A standard 20 m² kitchen extension is typically around £39,500 to £50,500 in Winsford, plus the kitchen itself, which commonly adds £9,000 to £20,000 for a mid-range design.
