Do I need planning permission in Harringay?
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).
Homes in conservation areas, national parks, National Landscapes (formerly AONBs), the Broads and World Heritage Sites have tighter rules, so we always check the property's status and planning history before design starts.
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.
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).
Included in a typical project
- Structural design for the corner and openings
- Foundations, drainage and any manhole relocation
- Roof with glazing along the side return
- Householder planning application
- Full internal finish or kitchen-ready shell
- Party wall notice support (England and Wales)
The corner is where wraparounds succeed or fail. We usually use a single steel goalpost or a corner post hidden in a pier, and set the glazing so the new room reads as one space rather than two boxes.

Extensions in and around Harringay
Across N4, N8, N15, N16, N17, N22, we can visit, measure and advise. We also work in nearby Wood Green (1 mile), Stamford Hill (1 mile), Muswell Hill (2 miles), Tottenham (2 miles).
Just over the Essex border, Waltham Abbey is about 8 miles away. London's housing is dominated by Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many with a rear outrigger and a side return, and 1930s semis in the outer boroughs. Conservation areas are common, so the planning check comes first.

Design and approvals
We draw the design, agree it with you and handle planning or permitted development checks and building regulations.
Fixed written price
The price is fixed in writing once the design is settled, with a clear programme and payment stages.
Build and sign-off
We build it with one project manager, book the building control inspections and hand over the completion certificate.

How much does a wraparound extension cost?
Our guide range is about £2,600 to £4,810 per m² including VAT. A 25 m² standard-spec wraparound typically lands around £74,500 to £94,500 in Harringay before design and council fees.
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.
