Extensions in and around Welshpool
Our survey diary covers Welshpool, including SY21. We also work in nearby Newtown (11 miles), Llandrindod Wells (28 miles), Brecon (49 miles).
Just over the Clwyd border, Rhosllannerchrugog is about 25 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.

Will the council need to approve it?
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.
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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your county or county borough council, or the national park authority).

Who do I contract with in Welshpool?
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.

Yes. We cover Welshpool and the surrounding parts of Powys. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
