Homes in Yorkshire and the Humber
Stone-built terraces are typical of many West Yorkshire towns, while red brick dominates in Hull and much of South Yorkshire, so matching materials is a big part of designing an extension here.
What do you get with a wraparound extension?
A wraparound extension combines a side return and a rear extension into one L-shaped build, giving the biggest possible ground-floor space on terraced and semi-detached houses. It usually creates a large open-plan kitchen, dining and living area across the back of the house.
- Design, planning drawings and structural calculations
- Steel frame or goalpost for the corner opening
- Glazing, insulation, plastering and electrics

What approvals does a wraparound extension need in England?
In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it applies.
In England a wraparound extension is treated as one extension, and because it covers both the side and the rear it does not normally fit within permitted development.
What should I think about before starting?
- Both neighbours may need party wall notices.
- An open-plan space this size needs a heating plan, often underfloor heating.
What happens after I enquire?
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
What people ask before starting
Does a wraparound need planning permission?
Usually yes. In England it combines a side and rear extension, which takes it outside permitted development in most cases.
How long does a wraparound take?
Around 12 to 18 weeks on site after approvals.
Who deals with the council for a project in Bentley?
We do. We prepare the drawings, submit planning or permitted development paperwork if needed, and arrange building control inspections.
