Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Prudhoe?
Whether your wraparound extension in Prudhoe 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. 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 Prudhoe like to extend?
Terraces and semis are typical around Prudhoe. On terraces a single-storey rear extension across the back yard is usually the practical choice; semis often have room for more.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Prudhoe
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Prudhoe?
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 Prudhoe house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
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.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Prudhoe?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
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.
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.
