Kitchen extension up to boundary?
Discussion

why not go with a garage carport store spare room alongside your house with a full width extension across the back?
The across the back is a no go as there is an expensive stone patio area there that our lounge looks into.... I'd post a photo but cough cough it's a bit of a mess at the moment

What's your max budget?
Cheeky 
If it's £40k or £300k then posters realise what is possible or not.
In all honesty I'm thinking circa 25k plus whatever Wifey spunks on the cookery bits

What's the length and width your after achieving?
Can't show Dims as i've done this with some freebie software..........
Width of existing ext = 1700mm
length = 3600mm
length of old kitchen = 3300mm
width of garage = 2600mm
length = 5000mm
Basic idea is to demolish garage.
Extend existing extension out to boundary but not the 'original' kitchen bit as I don't want to get involved with steel beams etc.
Reinstate a workshop further up the drive.
the overhanging back end of the garage will become a log splitting/store room.

1.7m width kitchen is pretty snug so totally see why you want to go sideways to absorb what (from the pics) is under utailised space and drastically add value/make living in the house even more enjoyable.
I would always leave a gap front to rear on the boundary so that you have proper rear access. I'm trying to get 0.8m which is more than enough for my lawn mower (and what ever will be its replacement) plus the wheelie bins. Don't need it any wider.
What's the max size gable to boundary?

The garage is the boundary so as per Dimms max = 2600mmI would always leave a gap front to rear on the boundary so that you have proper rear access.

Your probably right about having rear access for stuff but if Wifey agrees I'm happy to go full width. I could possibly move the opposite wall 800mm into the patio to gain it back but that's yet another wall to tear down and re-build plus extra footings/insulation work * and not sure about spoiling the patio area (even though we have masses of garden).
- talking of floor insulation would building control insist on extra insulation in the existing extension area?
