Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Redditch?
Whether your wraparound extension in Redditch needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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 Redditch like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Redditch. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.

Wraparound extension questions in Redditch
What postcode areas do you cover around Redditch?
Including B80, and the surrounding Worcestershire area.
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 you match the brick or stone on my Redditch house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.

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.
