Project Manager’s Perspective

“The homeowners returned to us to build their dream kitchen extension after we successfully converted their loft three years prior. Our design brief was simple but tricky: design and build a lean-to extension that avoids looking routine or plain while remaining cost-effective. We delivered elegant, complementary roof angles that flood the new open-plan space with natural light.”

Deepak, Lead Surveyor & Project Director

Navigating Acton Planning Permissions & Building Regulations

Building a kitchen extension in Acton requires careful consideration of local planning policies within the London Borough of Ealing:

  • Permitted Development Rights: Many single-storey rear and side-return extensions fall under Permitted Development (PD), allowing you to build without full planning permission, provided specific depth and height limits are respected.

  • Conservation Areas: If your Acton property sits within a designated Conservation Area (such as Acton Green or Poets’ Corner), strict planning rules apply regarding exterior materials, rooflines, and street-facing changes.

  • Building Control Approvals: All structural steelwork, thermal insulation levels, drainage connections, and electrical work (Part P) must pass local Building Control inspections to achieve full certification.

We manage the entire planning process on your behalf to guarantee complete legal compliance before construction begins.
