Do I need planning permission for a rear house extension in Kent?

Q: Do I need planning permission for a rear house extension in Kent?

Many single-storey rear extensions fall safely under Permitted Development (PD) rights , provided they extend up to 4 metres for a detached property or 3 metres for a semi-detached/terraced house (or up to 8m/6m under the Prior Approval scheme). However, full planning permission is required for larger builds, double-storey extensions, listed buildings, or properties in conservation areas.
