Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Verwood?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a wraparound extension in Verwood.
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 Verwood like to extend?
Stone-built and rendered houses are common around Verwood, so matching the walling is a design decision in its own right: natural stone, reconstituted stone or a render finish across old and new.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Verwood
Can you match the brick or stone on my Verwood house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
How long does a wraparound take?
Usually 14 to 20 weeks on site, longer than a plain rear extension because of the steelwork.
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
