Do I need planning permission in Suffolk?
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 Suffolk address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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).

- Roof with glazing along the side return

Wraparound extension questions answered
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Suffolk, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
How long does a wraparound extension take to build in Suffolk?
On site, typically 14 to 20 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 8–16 weeks design and approvals.
Do I need building regulations approval in Suffolk?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
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.
How much does a wraparound extension cost?
Our guide range is about £2,120 to £3,920 per m² including VAT. A 25 m² standard-spec wraparound typically lands around £60,500 to £77,000 in Suffolk before design and council fees.
