Do I need planning permission in Blackwood?
In Wales a single-storey rear extension can usually project up to 4 m beyond the rear wall without a planning application, if it is no more than 4 m high, keeps eaves to 3 m and overall height to 4 m within 2 m of a boundary, and covers no more than half the land around the original house. Wales has no larger home extension prior approval scheme.
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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your county or county borough council, or the national park authority).
