Wraparound extension in Newburn
We plan and build wraparound extensions for homeowners in Newburn. An L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. Start with a free site visit, then a written price once the design is agreed.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Newburn?
Planning for a wraparound extension in Newburn 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 Newburn like to extend?
Brick terraces, colliery houses and post-war semis make up much of Newburn. Former mining areas often need a coal mining risk check before foundations are designed. Wraparound projects around Newburn often involve two neighbours, so we start the party wall conversations early.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Newburn
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.
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.
Do I need a party wall agreement?
In England, usually yes if the extension is on or near a shared boundary or the foundations are close to a neighbour's building. We serve the notices.
