Choosing the right extension in Hawarden
In Wales, terraced houses with rear offshoots are common in the towns, while detached houses and bungalows dominate in rural areas.
Depending on the plot, single-storey rear extensions and side return extensions are often the strongest options, with pitched roof extensions worth considering where there is room.
Covering Hawarden and nearby
Across CH5, we can visit, measure and advise. The same team covers Deeside (1 mile), Buckley (3 miles), Flint (6 miles), Wrexham (10 miles), Rhosllannerchrugog (12 miles), all within easy reach. Just over the Powys border, Welshpool is about 37 miles away.
Do extensions in Hawarden need planning permission?
In Wales a single-storey rear extension can usually project up to 4 m beyond the rear wall without a planning application, if it is no more than 4 m high, keeps eaves to 3 m and overall height to 4 m within 2 m of a boundary, and covers no more than half the land around the original house. Wales has no larger home extension prior approval scheme.
In Wales a rear extension of more than one storey can be permitted development only if the ground floor projects no more than 4 m, the upper floor no more than 3 m, it stays at least 10.5 m from the rear boundary and it is not in a conservation area, national park, National Landscape or World Heritage Site. Anything larger needs a planning application to the council.
In a conservation area, national park, National Landscape or World Heritage Site the permitted development limits are tighter (no side or two-storey extensions without an application). Listed homes need listed building consent, and if permitted development rights have been removed, any extension needs an application.
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies in Wales as in England: notice must be served before work to a shared wall, building on the boundary, or excavating close to a neighbour's foundations.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your county or county borough council, or the national park authority).
