Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Hockley?
The planning route for a wraparound extension in Hockley is set by England's householder rules and your council.
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. 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 Hockley like to extend?
Hockley 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 Hockley
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.
What postcode areas do you cover around Hockley?
Including B18, B19 and B20, and the surrounding West Midlands area.
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.
Who will build my extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
Is the site visit in Hockley 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 Hockley house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
