Outdoor kitchens in Langham: 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.
Langham is a large village just north west of Oakham, long known as the home of Ruddles brewery, with ironstone and limestone houses in the centre and later housing around it. Plots are often generous enough for sweeping drives and full rear gardens.
We cover Langham (LE15) and the villages around it, including Barleythorpe, Ashwell, Whissendine, Cold Overton and Knossington.
Ground and conservation in Langham
Langham sits on the edge of the Vale of Catmose clay, where water drains slowly, and its brook has a history of exceeding its bank capacity. Base depth and drainage decide most designs here. On the clay around Langham we dig the base below the topsoil and build it thicker, so it does not move with the seasons.
Langham has a conservation area with an Article 4 direction. Rutland's Article 4 directions can cover front walls, gates and fences, parking spaces, porches and roofs, so we check the Langham direction before designing anything facing the road.

Permissions in Langham
- 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. Langham's Article 4 direction brings some work facing a road, footpath or open space under planning control, so we check it against your address first. Planning Portal: outbuildings
- TreesTrees in a conservation area need six weeks' notice before work, and protected trees need consent; both are free. Rutland County Council: tree works
