Do I need planning permission in Dyfed?
In Wales a single-storey side extension can be permitted development if it is no more than 4 m high and no wider than half the width of the original house, and it must not come closer to a highway than the existing side wall. Larger side extensions need planning permission.
The planning position for a specific Dyfed 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).
