Wraparound extension in Shrewsbury
Wraparound extension in Shrewsbury: 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.
Shrewsbury is covered from our Shropshire round, including SY1, SY2 and SY3. 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 Shrewsbury?
The planning route for a wraparound extension in Shrewsbury 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. 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 Shrewsbury like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Shrewsbury. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.
