Here, we look at a few key considerations before building wraparound extensions, including:
Extensions can be stressful for multiple reasons, with the regulations and planning approvals being one of the most difficult parts. We have looked at a couple of the regulations you need to keep in mind.
Wraparound property extensions typically require planning permission because they are a larger project, which will likely disrupt the neighbours of your Bromley home. Permitted development regulations mean that both the rear-facing and side-return aspects of wraparound extension plans will have to be considered individually. Still, there is a chance the project may fall within your permitted development rights. The experts at Cliden Construction (SE) Ltd are available to advise you on the planning aspects of all of the extensions we provide, including:
Party walls are a buffer between properties, whether an actual wall or an unseen boundary you share with a neighbouring home.
If your planned wraparound extension requires excavation within three to six metres of your neighbour’s home or if it impacts an existing party wall, then permission from the households involved will need to be granted at least two months prior to construction.
Failing to check with your neighbours before construction can be costly and take much longer than planned. To avoid this, fully plan out your extension with a surveyor so the property line and impact on the neighbouring properties can be accurately assessed and dealt with.
There are many advantages to choosing a wraparound extension, including:
