Looks homely and lovely.

Does it not have a vaulted ceiling despite the shape of the roof?

By using glass in the lowered part and putting the kitchen units in the lowest part you should be ok although 2.3 seems very low in my experience even for a conservation area - it is normally 2.5 on boundary walls. The only way round is if your neighbour were also interested in doing a side extension you could put in a joint application to have a higher side wall. I have done this once and it worked.

We have just extended our house in exactly the same way but our dining room is at the front, kitchen in the middle and lounge at the back. Our ground floor is now opened up right through from front to back with pocket doors to section off the dining room. We are on a main road so it made more sense to have the lounge where it's more private/quiet. We didn't add the toilet, like in your plan, as our space is 3.2m wide but if we had more space would defo of added one. Layout works perfectly for us. Kitchen is now the heart of the home and we now use every each of the space, instead of the old dining room being a thoroughfare that never got used. Perfect layout if you have kids and need 360 views of them. The main things to consider, I feel, are the position of the boiler and boiler flue, adequate lighting for the kitchen as might be darker after the extension. Get as much light (natural and artificial) into the kitchen as you can and also consider adequate ventilation for the kitchen: we chose a very powerful extractor to minimise smells/steam/mould from cooking, and chose electrically operated skylights for the extension. We also chose Quiet Mark appliances to minimise noises form the kitchen.

Hey, G D! Glad you found it helpful. I'm afraid I don't have the original floor plans electronically; when I changed my desktop couple of years ago, I saved all the photographs on the new one but forgot the house plans. However, I also think our houses are similar, but for the width of the kitchens - our old kitchen before the extension was about 3.8m wide (I still have the estate agent listing saved). Have a look at this ideabook with pics of the house. Also, this old post with before/after of the kitchen https://www.houzz.co.uk/ideabooks/5800709/list/our-cardiff-house https://www.houzz.co.uk/discussions/total-kitchen-renovation-dsvw-vd~400397 As for the pocket doors, we didn't use an architect, so had no idea about the fire regs. However, we passed building inspection without any problems; although they asked us to get both a smoke alarm and a fire alarm in the kitchen.
