Do I need planning permission in Reigate?

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.

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).

Local to Reigate

Our survey diary covers Reigate, including RH2. The same team covers Redhill (2 miles), Horley (5 miles), Banstead (6 miles), Caterham (6 miles), all within easy reach.

Homes across the South East range from Victorian terraces in the older town centres to large detached houses on the edges, so the right extension type varies street by street.

When a wraparound extension makes sense

  • Families who want kitchen, dining and living in one space
  • Terraced houses that want the largest ground floor possible
  • Semi-detached houses with a side passage

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.

  3. Fixed written price

    We confirm the build price in writing, based on the approved drawings and the finishes you have chosen.

  4. Build and sign-off

    Work is carried out to the agreed programme, inspected by building control and signed off at the end.

Common questions in Reigate

Who do I contract with for a wraparound extension in Reigate?

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 Reigate?

Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.

Do you cover all of Reigate?

Yes. We cover Reigate and the surrounding parts of Surrey. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.

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.

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.
