Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in Dundee and Angus where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow. Dundee and Angus has sandstone villas and terraces, post-war semis and four-in-a-block flats. Flats need planning permission for an extension, and every project needs a building warrant before work starts.

Do you need planning permission in Dundee and Angus?
In Scotland side extensions are more restricted than rear ones under householder permitted development, and wraparounds generally need planning permission. A building warrant is required before work starts.
Scotland has no Party Wall Act. Work to shared walls is governed by property law and the title deeds, so we agree access and protection with neighbours in writing before work begins.
Classes 1A and 1B do not apply in conservation areas, and listed buildings need listed building consent.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Does a wraparound need planning permission?
Often yes, because the side and rear parts are judged together. Some fit within permitted development; we check before drawing.
How long does a wraparound take?
Usually 14 to 20 weeks on site, longer than a plain rear extension because of the steelwork.
Can the corner be all glass?
Yes, with a steel or aluminium post or a structural glass corner. It needs careful thermal detailing to meet Building Regulations.
Do you cover all of Dundee and Angus?
We cover 6 towns and districts in Dundee and Angus, including Dundee, Arbroath and Forfar.
