Wraparound extension in Basford
We plan and build wraparound extensions for homeowners in Basford. An L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. Start with a free site visit, then a written price once the design is agreed.
Basford and its postcode districts NG1, NG7 and NG8 are part of our Nottinghamshire coverage. Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in Nottinghamshire where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Basford?
The planning route for a wraparound extension in Basford 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. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
What are homes in Basford like to extend?
Basford has plenty of inter-war semis and bungalows, and single-storey rear extensions suit both.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Basford
Is the site visit in Basford 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 Basford house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
What roof suits a wraparound?
A flat roof with a lantern, a standing-seam pitched roof or a glazed roof over the side leg. The choice usually follows the first-floor windows above.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Basford?
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.
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.
