Attention terrace house owners; If you want to extend your terrace house kitchen, you need to know the guidelines set out by your local town council.<\/p>\n

With property prices increasing over the last few years, many homeowners are finding it harder to upgrade to larger homes.<\/p>\n

Instead, homeowners are choosing to extend their existing homes. And one of the most common extensions is a kitchen extension with island.<\/p>\n

A terrace renovation of the kitchen is one of the first areas to be expanded as it adds more flexibility to the back of the house. You can add a larger dining section, or create more counter space for cooking, or even add a laundry area.<\/p>\n

However, there are rules regarding how far you can extend your kitchen, and the minimum setback distance of your new kitchen wall to the edge of your property. These rules are set out by the local town council in your area.<\/p>\n

In Selangor, you will need to get a kitchen renovation permit from town councils such as MBSJ (Subang Jaya), MBPJ <\/a>(Petaling Jaya), MPAJ <\/a>(Ampang Jaya), MBKJ<\/a> (Kajang) and others (full list here<\/a>). For homes in Kuala Lumpur, the guidelines are set by DBKL<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For the purpose of this article, we will look at DBKL\u2019s guidelines (since they are readily available online<\/a>)<\/p>\n
