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.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Haverfordwest?
Here is how the rules work for a wraparound extension in Wales. In Wales a wraparound extension combines side and rear elements; it can only be permitted development if each part meets the limits, so many need a householder planning application.
Building regulations in Wales are set by the Welsh Government. Approval comes from the council’s building control service or a registered building control approver, with inspections during the work and a completion certificate at the end.
We check this for your address before design work starts, so there are no surprises later.
