Local to Holyhead
We cover Holyhead and the postcode districts LL65. We also work in nearby Llangefni (11 miles), Bangor, Gwynedd (19 miles), Caernarfon (19 miles).
Llandudno, in Clwyd, is roughly 31 miles from Holyhead 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.
Do I need planning permission in Holyhead?
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.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
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.
Building over or within 3 m of a public sewer needs the water company's consent before the foundations go in.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your county or county borough council, or the national park authority).
