Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Acocks Green?
The planning route for a wraparound extension in Acocks Green is set by England's householder rules and your council.
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 Acocks Green like to extend?
Acocks Green has a lot of post-war semis and estate houses with long gardens and side access, which makes rear extensions quicker to build.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Acocks Green
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.
What postcode areas do you cover around Acocks Green?
Including B25, B26 and B27, and the surrounding West Midlands area.
Is it worth it over a side return alone?
If you want a dining table and a sofa as well as the kitchen, usually yes.
Is the site visit in Acocks Green free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
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.
