Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in The Boldons?
Whether your wraparound extension in The Boldons 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 The Boldons like to extend?
Brick terraces, colliery houses and post-war semis make up much of The Boldons. Former mining areas often need a coal mining risk check before foundations are designed. Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in Tyne and Wear where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow.
