Planning rules that apply in Prestatyn
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.
Building regulations approval is separate from planning. Wales has its own building regulations and approved documents; the council or a registered building control approver checks the plans, inspects the work and issues a completion certificate.
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).

When a bedroom extension makes sense
- Multi-generational households
- Growing families
- Homeowners who want an en-suite master bedroom
New bedrooms on an upper floor need an escape window or a protected route to the outside under the building regulations. We design the window sizes and stair route to meet that from the outset.

Bedroom extension questions answered
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Prestatyn, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Who do I contract with for a bedroom extension in Prestatyn?
Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which designs and manages the project and the build teams who carry it out.
Do I need building regulations approval in Prestatyn?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Can I add a ground-floor bedroom for a relative?
Yes. A ground-floor bedroom with an accessible shower room is a common request. If it will be lived in as a self-contained home, planning treats it differently, so tell us how it will be used.
Will a new bedroom need planning permission?
Upstairs additions usually do. Ground-floor rooms may fall within permitted development, depending on size and position.
