Do I need planning permission in Long Eaton?
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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

Extensions in and around Long Eaton
Our survey diary covers Long Eaton, including NG10. Nearby, we also take on projects in Ilkeston (5 miles), Heanor (9 miles), Derby (9 miles), Ripley (11 miles).
The East Midlands has plenty of inter-war and post-war semis and detached houses with room to extend, alongside Victorian terraces in the towns.
Included in a typical project
- Full internal finish or kitchen-ready shell
- Survey, design and 3D layout options
- Party wall notice support (England and Wales)
- Foundations, drainage and any manhole relocation
- Structural design for the corner and openings
- Roof with glazing along the side return
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.

We confirm the build price in writing, based on the approved drawings and the finishes you have chosen.
Build and sign-off
Our team builds the extension, keeps you updated weekly and finishes with building control sign-off.
Common questions in Long Eaton
Who do I contract with for a wraparound extension in Long Eaton?
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 I need building regulations approval in Long Eaton?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
How long does a wraparound extension take to build in Long Eaton?
On site, typically 14 to 20 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 8–16 weeks design and approvals.
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.
Do wraparound extensions need planning permission?
Usually, yes. In England the side element counts as a side extension and the rear element as a rear extension, and the combination normally falls outside permitted development. A householder application costs £548 in England from 1 April 2026.
