Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Stretford?
The planning route for a wraparound extension in Stretford 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. 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 Stretford like to extend?
Stone and brick terraces are common around Stretford. Where houses back onto a ginnel or alley, deliveries can come in from the rear, which makes the build tidier.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Stretford
How much does a wraparound extension cost in Stretford?
As a guide, £2,070–£3,380 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. For example, L-shaped, about 22 m² of new floor: about £45,500–£74,500 at that rate. Your written price follows the survey.
Who will build my extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
Will it take a lot of garden?
Less than a deep rear extension of the same area, because part of the space comes from the side passage.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Stretford house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Is the site visit in Stretford free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
