Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Kippax?
The planning route for a wraparound extension in Kippax 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 Kippax like to extend?
Stone terraces and brick semis are typical of Kippax. Matching sandstone or gritstone on a terrace is one of the biggest cost variables, and reclaimed stone is often the best match. Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in West Yorkshire where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Kippax
What postcode areas do you cover around Kippax?
Including LS25 and LS26, and the surrounding West Yorkshire area.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Kippax?
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.
Does a wraparound need planning permission?
Often yes, because the side and rear parts are judged together. Some fit within permitted development; we check before drawing.
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.
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.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Kippax?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
