Planning and approvals in Brecon
In Wales small porches are usually permitted development within size and boundary limits similar to England's. We check the current Welsh limits for your address.
The planning position for a specific Brecon 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).
Working in Brecon
Across LD3, we can visit, measure and advise. We also work in nearby Llandrindod Wells (21 miles), Newtown (39 miles), Welshpool (49 miles).
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.
From first visit to completion
Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.
Free site visit
We visit your Brecon home, measure up, talk through what you want and check the planning position.
Design and approvals
Once the layout is agreed, we deal with the council: planning permission or written confirmation that none is needed, plus building control.
Fixed written price
With the design and specification agreed, you get a fixed written price and a start date.
Build and sign-off
The build is managed from start to finish, inspected at each stage and signed off on completion.
Common questions in Brecon
Do I need building regulations approval in Brecon?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Brecon, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Will my neighbours in Brecon be involved?
If a planning application is needed, the council notifies neighbours. If the work is on or near a shared boundary, party wall notices may also be needed.
How much does a porch cost?
Our guide range is about £3,700 to £13,950 including VAT, depending on size, materials and whether it includes a WC.
