Will the council need to approve it?
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.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
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).
Is a side extension right for your house?
- Houses where the rear garden is small
- Detached and semi-detached houses with side land
- Homes needing a utility, study or ground-floor bedroom
Councils often prefer side extensions to sit slightly back from the front of the house with a lower roof, so the original building still reads clearly. We design to those principles from the start to avoid redesigns.

Common questions in Llandrindod Wells
Will my neighbours in Llandrindod Wells 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.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Llandrindod Wells, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Who do I contract with for a side extension in Llandrindod Wells?
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.
Can I build over my driveway?
Yes, if the foundations work and you keep any parking the council requires. Drains and services under drives are common, so we check before design.
How much does a side extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,630 to £3,160 per m² including VAT, depending on specification, so a standard 18 m² single-storey side extension lands around £34,000 to £44,500 in Llandrindod Wells.
