Covering Earl Shilton
Site visits are available across Earl Shilton (LE9). We also work in nearby Hinckley (4 miles), Leicester (9 miles), Wigston (9 miles), Oadby (10 miles).
Homes across the East Midlands often have usable side land or a driveway beside the house, which opens up side and wraparound options.
Do I need planning permission in Earl Shilton?
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 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.
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).

Your questions about a wraparound extension in Earl Shilton
How long does a wraparound extension take to build in Earl Shilton?
On site, typically 14 to 20 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 8–16 weeks design and approvals.
Do you cover all of Earl Shilton?
Yes. We cover Earl Shilton and the surrounding parts of Leicestershire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Will my neighbours in Earl Shilton be involved?
If a planning application or prior approval is needed, the council notifies neighbours. If the work is on or near a shared boundary, party wall notices may also be needed.
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.
Is a wraparound better than a side return alone?
It adds far more space, but costs more and needs planning permission more often. Our comparison guide sets the two side by side.
