Homes in the East of England

Across the East of England, newer estates often have integral garages and room for rear extensions, while older towns have Victorian terraces and conservation areas that shape what can be built.

What does a wraparound extension involve?

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.

Do you need permission for a wraparound extension in Huntingdon?

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.
Roof water from an L-shape needs careful falls and outlets.

Questions about a wraparound extension in Huntingdon

Can we keep part of the kitchen working?

Often, by sequencing the work so the old back wall comes out last. We agree a plan with you before starting.

Glazed roof or solid roof?

A mix usually works best: solid roof with rooflights over the kitchen and a glazed section over the dining area.
