Extensions in and around Clwyd
Towns we cover in Clwyd include Wrexham, Buckley, Deeside, Colwyn Bay, Flint, Rhyl, Hawarden, Rhosllannerchrugog. In Wales, terraced houses with rear offshoots are common in the towns, while detached houses and bungalows dominate in rural areas.
Planning rules that apply in Clwyd
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.
The planning position for a specific Clwyd address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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.
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).

What we take care of
- Planning drawings: existing and proposed plans and elevations, site and location plans
- Building regulations drawings and specification
- Structural calculations from an engineer (full pack)
- 3D views to check the look and the light (full pack)
- Two or three layout options to compare
The most expensive changes are the ones made after the steel is ordered. A good design stage settles layout, heights, glazing and services on paper, so the build price is firm.
What happens next
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
A designer visits, takes measurements and photos, and discusses layouts, budget and timing with you.
Design and approvals
We produce the drawings and structural design, and manage the approvals so they are in place before work starts.
Fixed written price
You receive a written, itemised price and programme. Nothing starts until you are happy with it.
Build and sign-off
Our team builds the extension, keeps you updated weekly and finishes with building control sign-off.
Common questions in Clwyd
Do you cover all of Clwyd?
Yes, across the whole of Clwyd. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
How long does this take for a Clwyd home?
2–6 weeks for drawings, depending on the council and the complexity of the project.
Do I need building regulations approval in Clwyd?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Can I use your drawings with another builder?
Yes. Once paid for, the drawings are yours to use for your project.
Do I need an architect?
Not necessarily. For most extensions an experienced designer or architectural technologist is enough. For listed buildings or complex sites an architect’s input can help.
