Wraparound extension in Newport
Wraparound extension in Newport: an L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. We measure the house, show you what the rules allow, price it in writing and build it.
Newport is covered from our Isle of Wight round, including PO30, PO32 and PO33. Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in the Isle of Wight where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Newport?
Whether your wraparound extension in Newport 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. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development, prior approval or a planning application.
What are homes in Newport like to extend?
Around Newport 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.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Newport
Do you handle building control in Newport?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
How much does a wraparound extension cost in Newport?
As a guide, £2,460–£4,030 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. For example, L-shaped, about 22 m² of new floor: about £54,000–£88,500 at that rate. Your written price follows the survey.
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.
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 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.
