Wraparound extension in Boughton
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 Boughton and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
We cover Boughton (NG22) as part of our Nottinghamshire work. In Boughton 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 Boughton?
Planning for a wraparound extension in Boughton follows the English householder rules.
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 Boughton like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and semis are typical of Boughton. Coal-mining legacy areas in parts of the East Midlands can need a Coal Authority check before foundations are designed.
