Planning rules that apply in Southport
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.
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.
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).
What we take care of
- Householder planning application
- Party wall notice support (England and Wales)
- Foundations, drainage and any manhole relocation

Your questions about a wraparound extension in Southport
Who do I contract with for a wraparound extension in Southport?
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.
Will my neighbours in Southport 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.
Do I need building regulations approval in Southport?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
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 Southport before design and council fees.
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.
