We put a fixed price in writing once the design is agreed, and explain any provisional sums such as foundations.
Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Middleton?
The planning route for a wraparound extension in Middleton is set by England's householder rules and your council.
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. 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 Middleton like to extend?
Stone and brick terraces are common around Middleton. Where houses back onto a ginnel or alley, deliveries can come in from the rear, which makes the build tidier.
