Wraparound extension in Waterlooville
For homes in Waterlooville, 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.
Waterlooville and its postcode districts PO7, PO8 and PO9 are part of our Hampshire coverage. Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in Hampshire where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Waterlooville?
Whether your wraparound extension in Waterlooville needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
In England the side part of a side return or wraparound must meet the side-extension rules (one storey, under 4 metres high, no more than half the width of the original house), and those rights do not apply on designated land. Because a wraparound combines a side and a rear extension, many need householder planning permission.
Because rear extensions often sit on or near the boundary, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 usually applies in England. Notices go out one or two months before work depending on the type of work, and a surveyor's award is only needed if a neighbour does not consent.
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 Waterlooville like to extend?
Around Waterlooville the housing ranges from inter-war semis to 1960s and 1970s estates with good-sized gardens. Many of the newer estates had permitted development rights removed by condition, so we check the planning history before anything is drawn.
