Local to Pembroke Dock
We cover Pembroke Dock and the postcode districts SA72. Neighbouring towns we cover include Haverfordwest (8 miles), Carmarthen (29 miles), Llanelli (33 miles), Ammanford (41 miles).
For homes towards West Glamorgan, Gorseinon is around 38 miles away. Welsh housing ranges from stone terraces in the valleys to render-and-slate houses and modern estates, and the Welsh planning rules differ from England's in several places.
When it helps
- Homeowners who would rather not deal with the council themselves
- Projects in conservation areas or with previous refusals
- Anyone unsure whether their extension needs permission
Planning rules that apply in Pembroke Dock
In Wales the routes are permitted development (a lawful development certificate is available), or a householder planning application to the council. Wales has no prior approval scheme for larger rear extensions, and fees are set by the Welsh Government.
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).
