Extensions in and around Wembley

We cover Wembley and the postcode districts HA0, HA1, HA9, NW10, UB6, W5. Neighbouring towns we cover include Harlesden (2 miles), Harrow (2 miles), Greenford (3 miles), Willesden (3 miles).

For homes towards Hertfordshire, Bushey is around 7 miles away. Across London, terraced houses with narrow side returns and tight access are the norm, which shapes everything from party wall notices to how materials reach the back garden.

Do I need planning permission in Wembley?

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 Wembley 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.

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.

Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

Questions people ask about wraparound extensions

Will my neighbours in Wembley 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.

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

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 you cover all of Wembley?

Yes. We cover Wembley and the surrounding parts of Greater London. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.

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.

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.
