Wraparound extension in Hucknall
Wraparound extension in Hucknall: 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.
Hucknall sits in Nottinghamshire, with postcode districts including NG15 and NG16. 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 Hucknall?
Whether your wraparound extension in Hucknall needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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 Hucknall like to extend?
Hucknall has plenty of inter-war semis and bungalows, and single-storey rear extensions suit both.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Hucknall
Do you handle building control in Hucknall?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
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.
Can the corner be all glass?
Yes, with a steel or aluminium post or a structural glass corner. It needs careful thermal detailing to meet Building Regulations.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Hucknall?
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.
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 you match the brick or stone on my Hucknall house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
