Wraparound extension in Redruth
For homes in Redruth, a wraparound extension is often the simplest way to gain space without moving. An L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. We take it from survey to completion certificate.
Redruth is covered from our Cornwall round, including TR15 and TR16. Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in Cornwall where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Redruth?
Planning for a wraparound extension in Redruth follows the English householder rules.
Side return infills and the side leg of a wraparound are treated as side extensions in England: single-storey, no more than 4 metres high and no wider than half the original house. They are not permitted development in conservation areas, National Parks or National Landscapes, and a joined wraparound often needs a planning application because the side and rear rules apply together.
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies in England: you serve notice two months before work to a shared wall, and one month before digging foundations within 3 metres (or 6 metres for deeper foundations) of a neighbour's building. Neighbours can agree in writing; if they dissent, surveyors agree an award.
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 Redruth like to extend?
Redruth has Victorian terraces nearer the centre and post-war semis on the edges. Sloping gardens are frequent, which affects floor levels and steps down to the patio.
