Local to Brecon
Our survey diary covers Brecon, including LD3. The same team covers Llandrindod Wells (21 miles), Newtown (39 miles), Welshpool (49 miles), all within easy reach.
Ebbw Vale, in Gwent, is roughly 14 miles from Brecon and also on our list. In Wales, terraced houses with rear offshoots are common in the towns, while detached houses and bungalows dominate in rural areas.
Will the council need to approve it?
In Wales a single-storey rear extension can usually project up to 4 m beyond the rear wall without a planning application, if it is no more than 4 m high, keeps eaves to 3 m and overall height to 4 m within 2 m of a boundary, and covers no more than half the land around the original house. Wales has no larger home extension prior approval scheme.
The planning position for a specific Brecon 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.
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).

A good utility works like a back-of-house corridor: in from the garden, boots off, coats on hooks, washing on the way through. We plan the door positions so it doesn't become another room to walk around.
