Wraparound extension in Pontefract
We plan and build wraparound extensions for homeowners in Pontefract. 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.
Pontefract and its postcode districts WF7, WF8 and WF10 are part of our West Yorkshire coverage. 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.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Pontefract?
Whether your wraparound extension in Pontefract 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. 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 Pontefract like to extend?
Pontefract has through terraces and some back-to-backs as well as later semis; back-to-backs have little or no rear space, so we look at side or loft options there.

Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Pontefract?
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.

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.

Can you match the brick or stone on my Pontefract house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
