Wraparound extension in Bognor Regis
We plan and build wraparound extensions for homeowners in Bognor Regis. 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.
Bognor Regis and its postcode districts PO21 and PO22 are part of our West Sussex coverage. Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in West Sussex where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Bognor Regis?
The planning route for a wraparound extension in Bognor Regis 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. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development, prior approval or a planning application.
What are homes in Bognor Regis like to extend?
Around Bognor Regis the housing ranges from inter-war semis to 1960s and 1970s estates with good-sized gardens. Many of the newer estates had permitted development rights removed by condition, so we check the planning history before anything is drawn.
