Do I need planning permission in Wimborne Minster?
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.
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).

Is a wraparound extension right for your house?
- Families who want kitchen, dining and living in one space
- Semi-detached houses with a side passage
- Terraced houses that want the largest ground floor possible
The corner is where wraparounds succeed or fail. We usually use a single steel goalpost or a corner post hidden in a pier, and set the glazing so the new room reads as one space rather than two boxes.
