Local to Halewood
Our survey diary covers Halewood, including L24, L25, L26, L27. We also work in nearby Huyton (4 miles), Prescot (5 miles), Liverpool (7 miles), St Helens (7 miles).
Across the North West, terraced houses with small rear yards suit compact rear and side return extensions, while suburban semis have room for more.
Do I need planning permission in Halewood?
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).
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.
If the work involves a shared wall, building on the boundary, or digging foundations within 3 m (sometimes 6 m) of a neighbour's building, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies and notice must be served before work starts: two months for work to a party wall, one month for new walls on the boundary and for excavations.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

Common questions in Halewood
Do I need building regulations approval in Halewood?
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 Halewood, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Do you cover all of Halewood?
Yes. We cover Halewood and the surrounding parts of Merseyside. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
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.
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.
