Local to Newtown
We cover Newtown and the postcode districts SY16. Nearby, we also take on projects in Welshpool (11 miles), Llandrindod Wells (18 miles), Brecon (39 miles).
For homes towards Dyfed, Aberystwyth is around 33 miles away. 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.
Is an orangery extension right for your house?
- Period and detached houses with a garden view
- Homeowners replacing an older conservatory
- Those who want daylight without overheating
The lantern-to-roof ratio sets the character. A wider solid perimeter gives a calmer, more room-like space and hides downlights and speakers; a bigger lantern feels brighter but needs more care against summer heat.
Will the council need to approve it?
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.
The planning position for a specific Newtown address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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).

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.
