Do I need planning permission in Rhyl?
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.
In a conservation area, national park, National Landscape or World Heritage Site the permitted development limits are tighter (no side or two-storey extensions without an application). Listed homes need listed building consent, and if permitted development rights have been removed, any extension needs an application.
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).
Covering Rhyl
Across LL18, we can visit, measure and advise. Nearby, we also take on projects in Prestatyn (4 miles), Colwyn Bay (10 miles), Llandudno (14 miles), Flint (16 miles).
Bangor, Gwynedd, in Gwynedd, is roughly 27 miles from Rhyl and also on our list. 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.
When a utility room extension makes sense
- Houses with a side passage or small rear corner
- Busy family homes
- Kitchens that have run out of space for appliances
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.

On site, typically 6 to 10 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 4–10 weeks design and approvals.
Will my neighbours in Rhyl 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.
