NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle house and kitchen extensions in Notting Hill W11, under one contract. A rear extension runs £235 to £460 a sq ft, construction only. A side return runs £215 to £425 a sq ft. Call 020 7731 6841, and a budget estimate typically follows within seven days.
Notting Hill houses often have a lower ground floor opening to the garden.
That is where the kitchen wants to be. An extension makes it a full width room.
Many houses back onto communal gardens. Their rear walls are seen by many neighbours.
The borough judges each extension against Policy CD13 of its 2024 Local Plan.
In Norland, the neighbourhood plan’s Policy N3 also limits rear extensions.

Further reading, from the journal
How deep can a kitchen extension in Notting Hill go?
Usually to the general rear line of the neighbouring extensions.
That is the first test of Policy CD13.
We measure the neighbours’ additions before we draw.
Does the Norland plan affect my kitchen extension?
If your house is in Norland, yes. Policy N3 limits rear extensions.
It also protects garden space. The borough’s CD13 applies alongside it.
Can a Notting Hill kitchen extension be glazed?
Often, at garden level. Frames and glass are judged against the house.
A conservatory at roof level is resisted.
Do I need my neighbours’ consent for a Notting Hill extension?
Not for planning, though they can comment on the application.
Under the Party Wall Act, they get notice of work on the boundary.
We serve it, and agree an award if they dissent.
