Towns in West Glamorgan
Planning rules that apply in West Glamorgan
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 West Glamorgan 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.
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).
