Wraparound extension in Mablethorpe
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 Mablethorpe and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
Mablethorpe and its postcode districts LN12 are part of our Lincolnshire coverage. Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in Lincolnshire where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Mablethorpe?
The planning route for a wraparound extension in Mablethorpe 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. 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 Mablethorpe like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and semis are typical of Mablethorpe. 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 Mablethorpe
What postcode areas do you cover around Mablethorpe?
Including LN12, and the surrounding Lincolnshire area.
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 it worth it over a side return alone?
If you want a dining table and a sofa as well as the kitchen, usually yes.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Mablethorpe?
Often not for a single-storey rear extension of up to 3 metres (4 metres on a detached house) under permitted development, or up to 6 or 8 metres with prior approval, unless the house is in a conservation area or its rights have been removed.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Mablethorpe house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Do you handle building control in Mablethorpe?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
