Planning and approvals in Bexhill-on-Sea
In England a wraparound extension is assessed as both a side and a rear extension, and the combination usually falls outside permitted development, so most need a householder planning application (£548 from 1 April 2026).
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
Building regulations approval is separate from planning. In England you can use the council's building control team or a registered building control approver; a full plans application gets the drawings checked before work starts, and the inspector signs the work off with a completion certificate.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

Wraparound extension questions answered
Do I need building regulations approval in Bexhill-on-Sea?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Bexhill-on-Sea, 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 wraparound extension take to build in Bexhill-on-Sea?
On site, typically 14 to 20 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 8–16 weeks design and approvals.
How much does a wraparound extension cost?
Our guide range is about £2,240 to £4,140 per m² including VAT. A 25 m² standard-spec wraparound typically lands around £64,000 to £81,500 in Bexhill-on-Sea before design and council fees.
Will I need to move a drain?
Often. Side returns frequently contain a manhole or a shared drain. Building near or over a public sewer needs the water company’s consent in England and Wales, which we arrange.
