Wraparound extension in Codsall
For homes in Codsall, a wraparound extension is often the simplest way to gain space without moving. An L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. We take it from survey to completion certificate.
We cover Codsall (WV8) as part of our Staffordshire work. Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in Staffordshire where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Codsall?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a wraparound extension in Codsall.
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 Codsall like to extend?
Codsall has a lot of post-war semis and estate houses with long gardens and side access, which makes rear extensions quicker to build.
