Planning rules that apply in Newtown
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.
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).
What should I budget for a kitchen extension in Newtown?
Labour and material costs vary across the UK, so for Newtown we use our Wales factor (×0.93). The ranges include VAT and exclude design, structural and council fees.
Typical rates in Newtown: £1,670 to £3,260 per m² including VAT, depending on specification.
| Size | Essential | Standard | Premium |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 m × 5 m 15 m² | £25,000 – £29,500 | £29,000 – £37,000 | £36,500 – £49,000 |
| 4 m × 5 m 20 m² | £33,000 – £39,500 | £39,000 – £49,500 | £49,000 – £65,500 |
| 4 m × 7 m 28 m² | £46,500 – £55,000 | £54,500 – £69,500 | £69,000 – £91,500 |
Build cost only. A mid-range kitchen, supplied and fitted, typically adds £9,000 to £20,000.

Working in Newtown
Across SY16, we can visit, measure and advise. The same team covers Welshpool (11 miles), Llandrindod Wells (18 miles), Brecon (39 miles), all within easy reach.
Aberystwyth, in Dyfed, is roughly 33 miles from Newtown and also on our list. 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.
Our process, step by step
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 draw the design, agree it with you and handle planning or permitted development checks and building regulations.
Fixed written price
You receive a written, itemised price and programme. Nothing starts until you are happy with it.
Build and sign-off
The build is managed from start to finish, inspected at each stage and signed off on completion.
Your questions about a kitchen extension in Newtown
Who do I contract with for a kitchen extension in Newtown?
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.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Newtown, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Will my neighbours in Newtown be involved?
If a planning application is needed, the council notifies neighbours. If the work is on or near a shared boundary, party wall notices may also be needed.
Where should the island go?
Usually under the brightest part of the roof and away from the main walkway to the garden. We test two or three layouts on the plan before deciding.
Can you fit a kitchen I buy elsewhere?
Yes. We can fit it or work with your supplier’s fitters. We need the layout early so that drains, services and lighting are in the right place.
