Wraparound extension in Ashby-de-la-Zouch
An L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. We design, get the approvals for and build wraparound extensions in Ashby-de-la-Zouch and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Ashby-de-la-Zouch?
Whether your wraparound extension in Ashby-de-la-Zouch needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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 Ashby-de-la-Zouch like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and semis are typical of Ashby-de-la-Zouch. Coal-mining legacy areas in parts of the East Midlands can need a Coal Authority check before foundations are designed.
