Wraparound extension in Halesowen
An L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. We design, get the approvals for and build wraparound extensions in Halesowen and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
We cover Halesowen (B62, B63 and DY9) as part of our West Midlands work. Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in the West Midlands where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Halesowen?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a wraparound extension in Halesowen.
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 Halesowen like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Halesowen. 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 Halesowen
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Halesowen?
Often not for a single-storey rear extension of up to 3 metres (4 metres on a detached house) under permitted development, or up to 6 or 8 metres with prior approval, unless the house is in a conservation area or its rights have been removed.
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.
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.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Halesowen house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
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.
