Outdoor kitchens in Corby: what is involved
We build outdoor kitchens on a proper base: block or stone-faced counters with weatherproof worktops, space for a grill, pizza oven, sink and fridge, and the gas, power and water brought out safely.
Corby grew as a steel town: a New Town designated in 1950, with estates such as Kingswood, Lodge Park, Beanfield and Danesholme built for steelworkers, around the older villages of Corby Village, Great Oakley and Weldon. Priors Hall Park in the north east is planned for more than 5,000 homes, and many of its gardens are handed over as bare, compacted plots.
We cover Corby (NN17 and NN18) and the villages around it, including Weldon, Great Oakley, Corby Village, Gretton, Cottingham, Middleton, Rockingham, Stanion and East Carlton.
Ground and conservation in Corby
Corby sits on the Northampton Sand ironstone that fed the steelworks, and large areas around the town were opencast quarried and restored. Ground can change from natural ironstone to clay or fill within a garden, so we dig before we design the base and drainage. On the clay around Corby we dig the base below the topsoil and build it thicker, so it does not move with the seasons.
Corby has nine conservation areas, including the Old Village, Cottingham and Middleton, Gretton, Rockingham, Stanion, Great Oakley and Weldon. Its only Article 4 direction (Kingswood) controls houses in multiple occupation and does not affect driveways, porches or extensions.

Permissions in Corby
- PlanningAn outdoor kitchen in a rear garden does not normally need planning permission. A roof or pergola over it has to meet the outbuilding height and size limits. Gas work must be done by a Gas Safe engineer, and new outdoor circuits are notifiable electrical work. Listed buildings and the Corby conservation area have tighter rules, so we check your address before anything is designed. Planning Portal: outbuildings
- TreesTrees in a conservation area need six weeks' notice before work, and protected trees need consent; both are free. North Northamptonshire: tree protection
- Design and priceWe measure up, check the ground and the planning position, and give you one fixed written price.
