Worksop, Nottinghamshire
Wraparound extension in Worksop
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 Worksop and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
Worksop is covered from our Nottinghamshire round, including S80 and S81. In Worksop 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 Worksop?
Planning for a wraparound extension in Worksop follows the English householder rules.
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 Worksop like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and semis are typical of Worksop. Coal-mining legacy areas in parts of the East Midlands can need a Coal Authority check before foundations are designed.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Worksop
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.
Is the site visit in Worksop free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Will it take a lot of garden?
Less than a deep rear extension of the same area, because part of the space comes from the side passage.
