Ross on Wye is covered from our Herefordshire round, including HR9. Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in Herefordshire where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Ross on Wye?
Planning for a wraparound extension in Ross on Wye follows the English householder rules.
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 Ross on Wye like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Ross on Wye. 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 Ross on Wye
Is the site visit in Ross on Wye free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
What postcode areas do you cover around Ross on Wye?
Including HR9, and the surrounding Herefordshire area.
Is it worth it over a side return alone?
If you want a dining table and a sofa as well as the kitchen, usually yes.
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.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Ross on Wye?
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.
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
