Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Kidsgrove?

Planning for a wraparound extension in Kidsgrove 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. 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 Kidsgrove like to extend?

Kidsgrove has a lot of post-war semis and estate houses with long gardens and side access, which makes rear extensions quicker to build.

FAQ

Wraparound extension questions in Kidsgrove

Can you match the brick or stone on my Kidsgrove house?

We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.

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.

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.

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.
