Wraparound Extension Drawings in South Tottenham N15
Fixed-fee, MCIAT-chartered wraparound extension drawings for South Tottenham (N15) homeowners — London Borough of Haringey validation and local constraints handled from the start.
South Tottenham (N15) in Haringey is a densely terraced late-Victorian district, and while much of its residential grain lies outside any designation, several conservation areas thread through it — the South Tottenham conservation area (No. 27), the Seven Sisters / Page Green area (No. 26) on Broad Lane and Wakefield Road, and Clyde Circus toward West Green. Rear and loft projects on the terraces are the staple here.
The Seven Sisters / Page Green area forms part of Tottenham's 'outstanding' High Road historic corridor, so frontages near the High Road are tightly controlled, while many surrounding streets are assessed for their consistent terraced character. We check whether a South Tottenham property sits inside one of these conservation areas before recommending a permitted-development or full-application route.
Planning in South Tottenham (N15): what to know before you apply
N15 mixes small designated pockets — the South Tottenham (No. 27), Seven Sisters / Page Green (No. 26) and Clyde Circus conservation areas — with extensive undesignated Victorian terraces, so the first check is whether a property falls inside a conservation area or the Tottenham High Road historic corridor. Haringey does not publish its Article 4 directions to the national register, so we confirm permitted-development status with the council rather than assume it.
Typical South Tottenham housing stock
Late-Victorian terraces on the residential streets between West Green Road and Seven Sisters Road, with period buildings and flats over shops along West Green Road and the Seven Sisters / Page Green frontages on Broad Lane and Wakefield Road.

Wraparound Extension Drawings for South Tottenham (N15) homes: the package and the process
Every wraparound extension drawings we prepare for an South Tottenham property is drawn to London Borough of Haringey’s validation standards and tuned to the N15 constraints above. Here is what the drawing package covers and how the process runs from first survey to approval.
A wraparound extension is what happens when a rear extension and a side return are designed together rather than as two separate projects: the new build wraps around the back corner of the house, turning a galley kitchen and a small rear room into one continuous kitchen, dining and living space running the full width of the plot. It is the most ambitious single-storey option most London terraces and semi-detached houses have, and because it reshapes almost the entire ground floor, it needs careful structural and drainage planning as well as a confident planning application.
DrawingsDirect draws wraparound extensions for full planning and building regulations, with structural calculations for the L-shaped frame and any drainage diversion produced in-house by our MCIAT-chartered team, on a fixed fee. If your project is a single-storey rear addition or a side infill on its own, see our Rear Extension and Side Return Extension pages; if you also want a second storey, see Double Storey Extension Drawings.
What makes a wraparound extension different from a rear or side return alone?
A rear extension adds depth at the back of the house; a side return adds width down the alley; a wraparound does both at once, so the new floor area turns the corner of the original building rather than sitting against just one wall. The result is typically the largest open-plan space a single-storey extension can deliver, but it also means more of the original external wall is removed and more of the roof is new, which raises the structural and drainage stakes compared with either extension on its own. Homeowners who start out planning a rear extension or a side return alone often move to a wraparound once they see how little extra it costs to combine the two, since much of the groundwork, roof structure and glazing is shared between them rather than duplicated.
Do wraparound extensions need full planning permission in London?
Almost always, yes. Permitted development allowances are calculated on combined additions to the original house, and a wraparound's depth plus width together generally exceed the volume and footprint limits that apply to a rear extension or side extension considered separately. A Lawful Development Certificate route is rarely viable for a genuine wraparound.
Conservation area status and Article 4 directions, common across the terraced streets where wraparound extensions are most popular, remove permitted development rights further still, so we design every wraparound on the assumption it will go through full householder planning.
| Route | What it covers | Typical fee |
|---|---|---|
| Full planning permission | Required for almost all wraparound extensions given the combined footprint | Full Planning pack ~£1,600–£2,400 |
| Planning + Building Regulations (structural) | Combined pack including structural calculations for the L-shaped frame and drainage diversion | Planning + Building Regs pack ~£2,200–£3,850 |
| Rear extension alone (comparison) | Smaller single-storey addition, may qualify for permitted development | see Rear Extension Drawings, from £1,100 |
| Side return alone (comparison) | Widens the kitchen only, keeps garden depth unchanged | see Side Return Extension Drawings, from £1,400 |
