Do I Need Plans for My Kitchen Extension?

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
