Wigston Magna and its postcode districts LE8 and LE18 are part of our Leicestershire and Rutland coverage. 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 Wigston Magna?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a wraparound extension in Wigston Magna.
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 Wigston Magna like to extend?
Wigston Magna has plenty of inter-war semis and bungalows, and single-storey rear extensions suit both.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Wigston Magna
Do I need a party wall agreement?
In England, usually yes if the extension is on or near a shared boundary or the foundations are close to a neighbour's building. We serve the notices.
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.
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.
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.
Is the site visit in Wigston Magna free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Wigston Magna house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
