Bentley sits in South Yorkshire, with postcode districts including DN1, DN2 and DN5. Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in South Yorkshire where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Bentley?
Planning for a wraparound extension in Bentley 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 Bentley like to extend?
Stone terraces and brick semis are typical of Bentley. Matching sandstone or gritstone on a terrace is one of the biggest cost variables, and reclaimed stone is often the best match.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Bentley
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Bentley?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Do you handle building control in Bentley?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
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.
