Will the council need to approve it?
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.
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).

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 Stockport before design and council fees.
