Wraparound extension in Sheffield
Wraparound extension in Sheffield: 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.
Sheffield is covered from our South Yorkshire round, including S4, S5, S6 and S7. In Sheffield we usually draw the wraparound and a simpler rear-only option side by side, so the planning risk and cost difference are clear.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Sheffield?
The planning route for a wraparound extension in Sheffield 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 Sheffield like to extend?
Sheffield has through terraces and some back-to-backs as well as later semis; back-to-backs have little or no rear space, so we look at side or loft options there.
