Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Yeovil?
Planning for a wraparound extension in Yeovil 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. 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 Yeovil like to extend?
Stone-built and rendered houses are common around Yeovil, so matching the walling is a design decision in its own right: natural stone, reconstituted stone or a render finish across old and new.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Yeovil
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.
Do you handle building control in Yeovil?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
Does a wraparound need planning permission?
Often yes, because the side and rear parts are judged together. Some fit within permitted development; we check before drawing.
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.
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 I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
