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

Whether your wraparound extension in Haslemere 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. 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 Haslemere like to extend?

Commuter semis and detached houses make up much of Haslemere, and longer gardens make England's prior approval route for deeper rear extensions worth considering.

FAQ

Wraparound extension questions in Haslemere

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

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

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.

What roof suits a wraparound?

A flat roof with a lantern, a standing-seam pitched roof or a glazed roof over the side leg. The choice usually follows the first-floor windows above.

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.
