This project in East Dulwich has had a side and rear extension. Some councils will not permit full wraparound extensions, and this is a great alternative. This kind of extension creates a courtyard-like space to the rear, which stops the property becoming too imposing on the architecture of the neighbourhood.

Even if you can’t get all the space to sit internally, this doesn’t mean to say it’s wasted space. This kind of extension also gives you much more wall space, so you can incorporate windows and hang new artwork to go with your scheme.
