Wraparound extensions in the Isle of Wight
An L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. Rear extensions in the Isle of Wight: we cover 6 towns including Newport, Ryde and Cowes, with design, approvals and the build under one contract.
Island and remote addresses in the Isle of Wight are by arrangement: we confirm whether we can take the job, and agree any travel costs, before the first visit.
In Newport we usually draw the wraparound and a simpler rear-only option side by side, so the planning risk and cost difference are clear. Isle of Wight has a mix of Victorian terraces near the centre and larger Edwardian and inter-war houses further out. Clay soils across much of the South East mean deeper foundations near trees, which we plan for at the survey.

Do you need planning permission in the Isle of Wight?
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.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Does a wraparound need planning permission?
Often yes, because the side and rear parts are judged together. Some fit within permitted development; we check before drawing.
How long does a wraparound take?
Usually 14 to 20 weeks on site, longer than a plain rear extension because of the steelwork.
Can the corner be all glass?
Yes, with a steel or aluminium post or a structural glass corner. It needs careful thermal detailing to meet Building Regulations.
Do you cover all of the Isle of Wight?
We cover 6 towns and districts in the Isle of Wight, including Newport, Ryde and Cowes. Remote and island addresses are by arrangement.
