Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Brierley Hill?
Whether your wraparound extension in Brierley Hill needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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 Brierley Hill like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Brierley Hill. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.
