What is a wraparound extension?
A wraparound extension combines a side return and a rear extension into one L-shaped addition. It gives the largest possible ground floor, often creating an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space across the whole width of the house.
How much does a wraparound extension cost in Faversham?
In Faversham, a wraparound extension typically costs £2,450–£3,600 per m² of floor area, including VAT at 20% (standard rate). For a typical 28 m² project that is roughly £68,500–£101,000. Building costs in the South East run about 12% above the UK average, and the figures for Faversham are adjusted to reflect that. Design, structural calculations and council fees are extra.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Faversham?
Approvals for a wraparound extension in Faversham follow the rules for England. In England a wraparound extension combines side and rear elements, which normally takes it outside permitted development, so a householder planning application is made.
Where work involves a shared wall, building on the boundary, or digging foundations within 3 metres of a neighbour’s building and deeper than its foundations (or within 6 metres for deeper work), the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies and notices must be served before work starts.
We check this for your address before design work starts, so there are no surprises later.
