Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Aylestone?
Whether your wraparound extension in Aylestone 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. 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 Aylestone like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and semis are typical of Aylestone. Coal-mining legacy areas in parts of the East Midlands can need a Coal Authority check before foundations are designed.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Aylestone
How much does a wraparound extension cost in Aylestone?
As a guide, £2,130–£3,490 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. For example, L-shaped, about 22 m² of new floor: about £47,000–£77,000 at that rate. Your written price follows the survey.
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
Will it take a lot of garden?
Less than a deep rear extension of the same area, because part of the space comes from the side passage.
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.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Aylestone?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Aylestone house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
