Infilling the narrow passage beside a Victorian or Edwardian back addition. We design, get the approvals for and build side return extensions in Blaydon-on-Tyne and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.

Do you need planning permission for a side return extension in Blaydon-on-Tyne?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a side return extension in Blaydon-on-Tyne.
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. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.
What are homes in Blaydon-on-Tyne like to extend?
Brick terraces, colliery houses and post-war semis make up much of Blaydon-on-Tyne. Former mining areas often need a coal mining risk check before foundations are designed.
