Local to Welshpool
Postcode districts we cover around Welshpool include SY21. The same team covers Newtown (11 miles), Llandrindod Wells (28 miles), Brecon (49 miles), all within easy reach.
Rhosllannerchrugog, in Clwyd, is roughly 25 miles from Welshpool 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.
Will the council need to approve it?
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.
The planning position for a specific Welshpool address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
Building over or within 3 m of a public sewer needs the water company's consent before the foundations go in.
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).

Your questions about a pitched roof extension in Welshpool
Do you cover all of Welshpool?
Yes. We cover Welshpool and the surrounding parts of Powys. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Who do I contract with for a pitched roof extension in Welshpool?
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.
Do I need building regulations approval in Welshpool?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Is a pitched roof better than a flat roof?
Neither is better in all cases. Pitched roofs blend with traditional houses and shed water quickly; flat roofs give more headroom and suit modern designs and lanterns.
Can I have a vaulted ceiling?
Yes. A vaulted ceiling with roof windows is one of the main reasons to choose a pitched roof. It needs insulation between and under the rafters to meet the building regulations.
