Wraparound extension in Selby
Wraparound extension in Selby: an L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. We measure the house, show you what the rules allow, price it in writing and build it.
Selby and its postcode districts YO8 are part of our North Yorkshire coverage. In Selby we usually draw the wraparound and a simpler rear-only option side by side, so the planning risk and cost difference are clear.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Selby?
Whether your wraparound extension in Selby 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 Selby like to extend?
Stone terraces and brick semis are typical of Selby. Matching sandstone or gritstone on a terrace is one of the biggest cost variables, and reclaimed stone is often the best match.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Selby
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.
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.
How long does a wraparound take?
Usually 14 to 20 weeks on site, longer than a plain rear extension because of the steelwork.
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.
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.
