Is a small kitchen extension worth it?

Even a modest kitchen extension can make a huge difference. A small side return or rear extension can open up your home, improve flow, and boost natural light.

It can also increase property value by up to 15%, making it a smart long-term investment.

Do I need planning permission for a kitchen extension?

Many kitchen extensions fall under permitted development, meaning you won’t need full planning permission. However, it depends on size, height, and proximity to neighbours.

Your builder can help confirm local council requirements and handle any applications.
