Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Stoke-on-Trent?
Whether your wraparound extension in Stoke-on-Trent needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.
What are homes in Stoke-on-Trent like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Stoke-on-Trent. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Stoke-on-Trent
How long does a rear extension take to build in Stoke-on-Trent?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Stoke-on-Trent house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Will it take a lot of garden?
Less than a deep rear extension of the same area, because part of the space comes from the side passage.
Do you handle building control in Stoke-on-Trent?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
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.
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.
