Planning a kitchen extension in the UK and wondering if you need formal drawings or planning permission? You’re not alone.
Here’s what you need to know — simply and clearly.
✅ When Plans Are Needed
Even if you don’t need full planning permission, you’ll likely still need:
-
Scaled plans to submit to Building Control
-
Drawings to get accurate quotes from builders or kitchen suppliers
-
Plans if you want a Lawful Development Certificate (highly recommended even under permitted development)
🛑 Don’t Guess
Many homeowners start with good intentions — but rough sketches or verbal descriptions often lead to delays, cost overruns, or rework.
A good set of plans:
-
Speeds up approvals
-
Clarifies the vision for everyone
-
Keeps your budget realistic
