Extensions in and around Newtown
Site visits are available across Newtown (SY16). The same team covers Welshpool (11 miles), Llandrindod Wells (18 miles), Brecon (39 miles), all within easy reach.
Just over the Dyfed border, Aberystwyth is about 33 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.
Planning rules that apply in Newtown
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 over or within 3 m of a public sewer needs the water company's consent before the foundations go in.
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).

How the project works
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
It starts with a visit to your house to measure, check access and talk through ideas and budget.
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
With the design and specification agreed, you get a fixed written price and a start date.
Build and sign-off
We build it with one project manager, book the building control inspections and hand over the completion certificate.
