Do I need planning permission in Clwyd?
In Wales a glazed or orangery-style extension follows the normal single-storey limits (up to 4 m at the rear). Welsh building regulations also limit glazing and heat loss, so glass-heavy designs need calculations.
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).
Is a glass extension right for your house?
- Period and listed-style houses where a light touch is wanted
- Small infill spaces and side returns
- Garden-facing dining rooms
Solar gain is the risk. We specify solar-control glass, plan for opening vents or sliding panels, and avoid fully glazed roofs on south-facing extensions unless shading is included.

Glass extension questions answered
Who do I contract with for a glass extension in Clwyd?
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.
Do you cover all of Clwyd?
Yes, across the whole of Clwyd. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
How long does a glass extension take to build in Clwyd?
On site, typically 10 to 16 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 8–14 weeks design and approvals.
How much does a glass extension cost?
Our guide range is about £2,790 to £5,390 per m² including VAT, because structural glass is made to order. A 12 m² standard-spec glass extension is typically £39,000 to £49,500 in Clwyd.
Are glass extensions cold in winter?
Modern double or triple glazing with warm-edge spacers and underfloor heating keeps them comfortable. They are not as warm as a solid room, and we explain the trade-off honestly.
