Kitchen Extensions in Stansted Mountfitchet
Home to London Stansted Airport and a historic Norman motte-and-bailey castle. Stansted Mountfitchet is a large village near Stansted Airport, with older cottages around the centre and more recent housing on the slopes of the valley.
On older village houses, a kitchen extension needs to sit well with the original building and the garden. Older village properties vary a great deal in their roof structure and age, so a careful survey matters more than any rule of thumb, and it is worth checking early whether any local restrictions apply. We offer a free survey and a clear written quote from the start.
Planning and approvals for kitchen extensions in Stansted Mountfitchet
Planning applications are decided by Uttlesford District Council, and part of the village is a conservation area. Single-storey rear kitchen extensions can often be built under permitted development within the depth and height limits, while larger or side extensions may need permission.
