Planning rules that apply in Tonypandy
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 Tonypandy address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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).
What should I budget for an over-garage extension in Tonypandy?
Labour and material costs vary across the UK, so for Tonypandy we use our Wales factor (×0.93). The ranges include VAT and exclude design, structural and council fees.
