Hello . As far as I am aware you do not need planning to put a kitchen upstairs. As long as you have the proper ventilation and you do not have have a free standing cooker sitting on floorboards you are fine. I have renovated many properties and never been asked by building regs about planning.

You shouldn't need planning permission, but you will require building control as you are changing the use of a room, ie making it into a kitchen. You can phone up your local planners at you council to get confimation of exactly what you'll need to do. One thing to remember is that the planners/building control are there to help you rather than hamper or intimidate you.
