Wraparound extension in Market Drayton
For homes in Market Drayton, a wraparound extension is often the simplest way to gain space without moving. An L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. We take it from survey to completion certificate.
We cover Market Drayton (TF9) as part of our Shropshire work. Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in Shropshire where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Market Drayton?
Whether your wraparound extension in Market Drayton 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. 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 Market Drayton like to extend?
Market Drayton has a lot of post-war semis and estate houses with long gardens and side access, which makes rear extensions quicker to build.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Market Drayton
Is the site visit in Market Drayton free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Market Drayton?
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 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.
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 you match the brick or stone on my Market Drayton house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
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.
