Wraparound extension in Atherstone
We plan and build wraparound extensions for homeowners in Atherstone. 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.
We cover Atherstone (CV9) as part of our Warwickshire work. Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in Warwickshire where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Atherstone?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a wraparound extension in Atherstone.
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. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
What are homes in Atherstone like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Atherstone. 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 Atherstone
How long does a rear extension take to build in Atherstone?
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 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.
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.
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.
Is the site visit in Atherstone free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Atherstone house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
