Wraparound extension in Tynemouth
For homes in Tynemouth, a wraparound extension is often the simplest way to gain space without moving. An L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. We take it from survey to completion certificate.
We cover Tynemouth (NE26, NE29 and NE30) as part of our Tyne and Wear work. In Tynemouth we usually draw the wraparound and a simpler rear-only option side by side, so the planning risk and cost difference are clear.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Tynemouth?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a wraparound extension in Tynemouth.
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. 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 Tynemouth like to extend?
Terraces and semis are typical around Tynemouth. On terraces a single-storey rear extension across the back yard is usually the practical choice; semis often have room for more.
