Local to Pembroke Dock
We cover Pembroke Dock and the postcode districts SA72. Neighbouring towns we cover include Haverfordwest (8 miles), Carmarthen (29 miles), Llanelli (33 miles), Ammanford (41 miles).
Just over the West Glamorgan border, Gorseinon is about 38 miles away. 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.
Is a side return extension right for your house?
- Narrow galley kitchens
- Homes where the garden is too small to lose much depth

Will the council need to approve it?
In Wales a single-storey side return can fall within permitted development if it stays within the 4 m height limit and the width rules for side extensions. Conservation areas and listed buildings need consent, and the Party Wall Act applies to work on or near a shared wall.
The planning position for a specific Pembroke Dock address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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.
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).

Common questions in Pembroke Dock
Do I need building regulations approval in Pembroke Dock?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
How long does a side return extension take to build in Pembroke Dock?
On site, typically 10 to 14 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 6–12 weeks design and approvals.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Pembroke Dock, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
How much does a side return extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,950 to £3,530 per m² including VAT, so a typical 2 m × 5.5 m infill lands around £24,500 to £31,000 at standard spec in Pembroke Dock, more in London.
Can I combine a side return with a rear extension?
Yes. That combination is a wraparound extension, which adds the most space to a terraced house.
