- Removal of the side wall and new steelwork
- Party wall notice support (England and Wales)

Light is the design problem. A side return can make the middle of the house darker if the roof is solid, so we model the daylight and usually recommend a glazed slope or a run of rooflights along the boundary edge.

Planning rules that apply in Uppingham
In England a single-storey side return infill is often permitted development if it stays within the height limits and is no wider than half the width of the original house. Conservation areas, listed buildings and flats always need an application, and the boundary wall usually brings in the Party Wall Act.
In a conservation area, national park, National Landscape, the Broads or a World Heritage Site the permitted development limits are tighter (no side or two-storey extensions without an application). Listed homes need listed building consent, and if permitted development rights have been removed, any extension needs an application.
Building over or within 3 m of a public sewer needs the water company's consent, usually through a build-over agreement, before the foundations go in.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

Side return extension questions answered
Who do I contract with for a side return extension in Uppingham?
Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which designs and manages the project and the build teams who carry it out.
Do you cover all of Uppingham?
Yes. We cover Uppingham and the surrounding parts of Rutland. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Do I need building regulations approval in Uppingham?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Do side return extensions need planning permission?
In England many single-storey side returns fit within permitted development if they stay within the height limits and are no wider than half the width of the original house. Conservation areas, listed buildings and flats need an application. Other UK nations have their own rules, which we check.
How much does a side return extension cost?
Our guide range is about £2,000 to £3,610 per m² including VAT, so a typical 2 m × 5.5 m infill lands around £25,000 to £31,500 at standard spec in Uppingham, more in London.
