Architectural Designers in Wigan
Wigan's terraced streets close to the town centre and semi-detached homes out towards Standish and Orrell each bring their own extension questions — boundary distances, neighbouring properties, how much garden you can build over. As architectural designers working across the borough, we've handled the specifics before.
Planning in Wigan
Wigan Council
Wigan Council covers the whole borough. Terraced homes close to a shared boundary or the public highway sometimes need a full application even for modest extensions, so we check the specifics of your plot early rather than assume.
What makes Wigan different
- •Terraced homes near the town centre often have tight side boundaries, which shapes what's realistic for a rear extension.
- •Semi-detached homes in Standish and Orrell suit two-storey extensions and loft conversions.
- •Properties near a public highway or shared boundary sometimes need a full planning application rather than permitted development.

Wigan questions
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Wigan?
Not always. Many single-storey rear extensions fall under permitted development, but proximity to a shared boundary or the public highway can change that. We check your specific property before any design work begins.
Have you completed projects in Wigan before?
Yes — including a family extension project where a planning risk around boundary proximity was identified and worked through early, rather than discovered partway through.
