Will the council need to approve it?
In Wales single-storey bungalow extensions follow the normal limits (up to 4 m at the rear); adding a storey needs planning permission.
The planning position for a specific Gelligaer address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
Building over or within 3 m of a public sewer needs the water company's consent before the foundations go in.
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).

Bungalow extension questions answered
Will my neighbours in Gelligaer be involved?
If a planning application is needed, the council notifies neighbours. If the work is on or near a shared boundary, party wall notices may also be needed.
Do you cover all of Gelligaer?
Yes. We cover Gelligaer and the surrounding parts of Mid Glamorgan. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Who do I contract with for a bungalow extension in Gelligaer?
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.
Is it better to extend sideways or upwards?
Sideways and rearwards is usually simpler, cheaper and keeps single-level living. Upwards saves garden but means stairs, more structure and planning permission.
How much does a bungalow extension cost?
Our guide range for single-storey work is about £1,630 to £3,160 per m² including VAT. Going upwards is priced after a structural survey.
