Rear Extension Oxford

Kennington, Oxford

This rear extension project in Oxford is for a single storey rear kitchen extension across the entire rear of the house.

This was a challenge with planning as the local authority recently changed its interpretation of what was a ‘rear extension’. Because this already had a small rear projection, this was seem as a ‘side and rear extension’ meaning that only half the width of the small projection would have been allowed under Permitted Development, rather than a 3m deep rear extension across the entire rear.

As a result this required a full planning application. The moral of the story here is that not everything that appears to be permitted is actually Permitted Development.
