Planning and approvals in Wrexham
In Wales a single-storey side return can fall within permitted development if it stays within the 4 m height limit and the width rules for side extensions. Conservation areas and listed buildings need consent, and the Party Wall Act applies to work on or near a shared wall.
In a conservation area, national park, National Landscape or 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 regulations approval is separate from planning. Wales has its own building regulations and approved documents; the council or a registered building control approver checks the plans, inspects the work and issues a completion certificate.
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies in Wales as in England: notice must be served before work to a shared wall, building on the boundary, or excavating close to a neighbour's foundations.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your county or county borough council, or the national park authority).
Included in a typical project

Common questions in Wrexham
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Wrexham, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
How long does a side return extension take to build in Wrexham?
On site, typically 10 to 14 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 6–12 weeks design and approvals.
Who do I contract with for a side return extension in Wrexham?
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.
Will the kitchen be darker?
Not if the roof is designed well. A glazed roof or a line of rooflights along the boundary usually makes the room brighter than before.
How much does a side return extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,950 to £3,530 per m² including VAT, so a typical 2 m × 5.5 m infill lands around £24,500 to £31,000 at standard spec in Wrexham, more in London.
