Wraparound extension plans in Hammersmith and Fulham

Almost always. A wraparound joins a side-return infill to a rear extension, and that combination takes the footprint past what permitted development allows, so it needs a full householder application to Hammersmith & Fulham Council. Only the rare, very shallow case stays within the limits. On designated land — a conservation area such as Brackenbury and Bradmore — a wraparound is never permitted development, so an application is certain. This applies to your Hammersmith and Fulham address specifically.

It is an L-shaped extension that fills the side return and wraps around into a full-width rear extension in one continuous sweep, so the kitchen, dining and living space become a single open room the width of the house. Hammersmith and Fulham's period terraces and semis with an L-shaped back addition suit it well, which is why the wraparound is the borough's biggest single-storey extension. Hammersmith & Fulham Council is the decision-maker.

Hammersmith & Fulham Council expects a usable amount of private garden to survive, because a wraparound is the deepest single-storey footprint and takes the most outdoor space. There is no single fixed figure — it is judged on the plot and the borough's amenity guidance — so we draw the retained garden to scale and size the extension around it, rather than maximising the build and hoping it passes. This applies to your Hammersmith and Fulham address specifically.

Usually on both sides. A wraparound touches two boundaries — the side leg runs along one neighbour and the rear leg can affect the other — so the Party Wall etc. Act often applies to each, and notice must be served before work starts. This is separate from Hammersmith & Fulham Council's planning decision. We detail both boundary junctions on the drawings and flag the notices early so surveyors can be appointed without delaying the build. This applies to your Hammersmith and Fulham address specifically.

Built as one project it usually is, and it reads better to Hammersmith & Fulham Council too. A single wraparound application covers the whole L-shaped footprint in one decision rather than two overlapping submissions, and the build shares one set of foundations, one roof and one disruption. We draw it as a single coherent scheme so the council assesses one clear proposal instead of piecing two together. This applies to your Hammersmith and Fulham address specifically.

We price each Hammersmith and Fulham wraparound individually, because garden depth, side-alley width and roof form vary house to house, and send a fixed, no-obligation quote within one working day. It covers the full drawing pack with free revisions until Hammersmith & Fulham Council approves, and we confirm the retained-garden and boundary position at the outset. Call 020 7864 7245 to start.
