Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Telford?
Planning for a wraparound extension in Telford 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 Telford like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Telford. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Telford
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Telford?
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.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Telford house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
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.

Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
