Towns in Mid Glamorgan
Working in Mid Glamorgan
Towns we cover in Mid Glamorgan include Rhondda, Tonypandy, Bridgend, Merthyr Tydfil, Pontypridd, Aberdare, Caerphilly, Maesteg. In Wales, terraced houses with rear offshoots are common in the towns, while detached houses and bungalows dominate in rural areas.
Do I need planning permission in Mid Glamorgan?
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.
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.
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).

Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.

On site, typically 10 to 16 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 6–12 weeks design and approvals.

Our guide range is about £2,230 to £4,180 per m² including VAT, so a 16 m² standard-spec orangery is typically £41,500 to £52,500 in Mid Glamorgan.
Will an orangery be too hot in summer?
Not if it is designed with solar-control glass, a solid perimeter and ventilation. We size the lantern and opening vents with that in mind.
