Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Ledbury?
The planning route for a wraparound extension in Ledbury is set by England's householder rules and your council.
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 Ledbury like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Ledbury. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Ledbury
Do I need a party wall agreement?
In England, usually yes if the extension is on or near a shared boundary or the foundations are close to a neighbour's building. We serve the notices.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Ledbury?
Often not for a single-storey rear extension of up to 3 metres (4 metres on a detached house) under permitted development, or up to 6 or 8 metres with prior approval, unless the house is in a conservation area or its rights have been removed.
What roof suits a wraparound?
A flat roof with a lantern, a standing-seam pitched roof or a glazed roof over the side leg. The choice usually follows the first-floor windows above.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Ledbury house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.

Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
