Wraparound extension in Braunstone

Braunstone sits in Leicestershire and Rutland, with postcode districts including LE1, LE2 and LE3. Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in Leicestershire and Rutland where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Braunstone?
The planning route for a wraparound extension in Braunstone is set by England's householder rules and your council.
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. 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 Braunstone like to extend?
Braunstone has plenty of inter-war semis and bungalows, and single-storey rear extensions suit both.
