Do you need planning permission for a side return extension in Evington?
The planning route for a side return extension in Evington is set by England's householder rules and your council.
In England the side part of a side return or wraparound must meet the side-extension rules (one storey, under 4 metres high, no more than half the width of the original house), and those rights do not apply on designated land. Because a wraparound combines a side and a rear extension, many need householder planning permission.
Because rear extensions often sit on or near the boundary, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 usually applies in England. Notices go out one or two months before work depending on the type of work, and a surveyor's award is only needed if a neighbour does not consent.
Conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads restrict permitted development, and listed buildings always need listed building consent. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
What are homes in Evington like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and semis are typical of Evington. Coal-mining legacy areas in parts of the East Midlands can need a Coal Authority check before foundations are designed.

FAQ
Side return extension questions in Evington
How much does a side return extension cost in Evington?
As a guide, £2,230–£3,690 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. For example, 2 m wide × 6 m deep (12 m²): about £27,000–£44,000 at that rate. Your written price follows the survey.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Evington house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Where does the drainage go?
Side passages often carry the soil and rainwater pipes. We survey them first and reroute them under the new floor where needed.
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Evington?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
Do you handle building control in Evington?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
