Planning rules that apply in Llandrindod Wells
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.
Homes in conservation areas, national parks, National Landscapes (AONBs) and World Heritage Sites have tighter rules, so we always check the property's status and planning history before design starts.
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).
From first visit to completion
Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.
Free site visit
First, a site visit: we look at the house, garden, access and drains and listen to what you need.
Design and approvals
Once the layout is agreed, we deal with the council: planning permission or written confirmation that none is needed, plus building control.
Fixed written price
You receive a written, itemised price and programme. Nothing starts until you are happy with it.
Build and sign-off
Work is carried out to the agreed programme, inspected by building control and signed off at the end.
Common questions in Llandrindod Wells
Will my neighbours in Llandrindod Wells 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.
How long does a double-storey extension take to build in Llandrindod Wells?
On site, typically 16 to 24 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 8–16 weeks design and approvals.
Who do I contract with for a double-storey extension in Llandrindod Wells?
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 a two-storey extension cheaper per square metre?
Usually. Our guide range is about £1,440 to £2,790 per m² of new floor area including VAT, compared with £1,630 to £3,160 per m² for single-storey work, because the foundations and roof are shared across two floors.
