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.
Homes in conservation areas, national parks, National Landscapes (AONBs) and World Heritage Sites have tighter rules, so we always check the property's status and planning history before design starts.
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).

Questions people ask about side return extensions
Can I see a price before committing to anything?

Do I need building regulations approval in Prestatyn?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.

On site, typically 10 to 14 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 6–12 weeks design and approvals.

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 Prestatyn, more in London.
Will the kitchen be darker?
Not if the roof is designed well. A glazed roof or a line of rooflights along the boundary usually makes the room brighter than before.
