Do I need planning permission in Ilkeston?
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 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).
When a wraparound extension makes sense
- Semi-detached houses with a side passage
- Families who want kitchen, dining and living in one space
- Terraced houses that want the largest ground floor possible
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.

Questions people ask about wraparound extensions
Who do I contract with for a wraparound extension in Ilkeston?
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.
Do you cover all of Ilkeston?
Yes. We cover Ilkeston and the surrounding parts of Derbyshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Will my neighbours in Ilkeston 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.
How much does a wraparound extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,900 to £3,520 per m² including VAT. A 25 m² standard-spec wraparound typically lands around £54,500 to £69,000 in Ilkeston 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.
