Planning rules that apply in Ebbw Vale
In Wales a two-storey side extension must be at least 10.5 m from the side boundary to be permitted development, which few houses can meet, so a planning application to the council is the usual route for a room over a garage.
The planning position for a specific Ebbw Vale 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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your county or county borough council, or the national park authority).
