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 Mirfield?
In Mirfield, a wraparound extension typically costs £2,050–£3,000 per m² of floor area, including VAT at 20% (standard rate). For a typical 28 m² project that is roughly £57,500–£84,000. Prices across Yorkshire and the Humber are typically 7% below the UK average for this kind of work, which is reflected in the range for Mirfield. Design, structural calculations and council fees are extra.

Your exact price depends on the survey and drawings. The guide price tool gives a quick range in the meantime.
Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Mirfield?
Before anything is built in Mirfield, we confirm which approvals apply in 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.

It gives the biggest ground-floor space without going upwards. Whether it adds value depends on your street and house, so we suggest checking local sale prices before committing.

Almost always. Combining side and rear elements usually goes beyond permitted development limits, so a householder planning application is normally made.
