What is included in a wraparound extension in Salisbury?

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 Salisbury?

Projects in England go through two separate checks. Planning (or confirmation that the work is permitted development) comes from the district, borough or unitary council, and building regulations approval comes from the council’s building control team or a registered building control approver. Where work touches a shared wall or digs near a neighbour’s foundations, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 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.

What are the steps?

Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.

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.

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.
