Planning rules that apply in Shrewsbury
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).
The planning position for a specific Shrewsbury address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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).

Common questions in Shrewsbury
Who do I contract with for a wraparound extension in Shrewsbury?
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 Shrewsbury?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Do you cover all of Shrewsbury?
Yes. We cover Shrewsbury and the surrounding parts of Shropshire. 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.
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.
