Do I need planning permission in Newport, Gwent?
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.
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.
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.
Building over or within 3 m of a public sewer needs the water company's consent before the foundations go in.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your county or county borough council, or the national park authority).
