Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Ashington?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a wraparound extension in Ashington.
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 Ashington like to extend?
Brick terraces, colliery houses and post-war semis make up much of Ashington. Former mining areas often need a coal mining risk check before foundations are designed.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Ashington
How long does a rear extension take to build in Ashington?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
Do you handle building control in Ashington?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
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.
