Wraparound extensions in Farnborough

Covering Farnborough

Our coverage around Farnborough (GU11) also includes Camberley, Aldershot and Fleet.

Homes in the South East

The South East has a lot of 1930s and post-war semi-detached housing, well suited to rear extensions and hip-to-gable loft conversions, alongside period properties in conservation areas that need a more careful design.

What is a wraparound extension?

Because it removes two external walls, a wraparound needs careful structural design and a good plan for the corner where the steels meet. We design, apply for any permissions, build and finish the shell, and can fit the kitchen as part of the same contract.

Do you need permission for a wraparound extension in Farnborough?

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. Most need householder planning permission, which usually takes around eight weeks once validated.

What should I think about before starting?

Both neighbours may need party wall notices.
Roof water from an L-shape needs careful falls and outlets.

Your questions answered

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.

Around 12 to 18 weeks on site after approvals.

Can you visit a house in Farnborough to quote?

Yes. After a short call we arrange a site visit to measure up and agree what the design needs to do, then send a written price.
