Covering Newtown
Our survey diary covers Newtown, including SY16. We also work in nearby Welshpool (11 miles), Llandrindod Wells (18 miles), Brecon (39 miles).
In Wales, terraced houses with rear offshoots are common in the towns, while detached houses and bungalows dominate in rural areas.
Planning rules that apply in Newtown
In Wales a wraparound must satisfy both the rear and side extension limits to be permitted development, so most need a planning application to the council.
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.
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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your county or county borough council, or the national park authority).
Who a wraparound extension suits

Questions people ask about wraparound extensions
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Newtown, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Do I need building regulations approval in Newtown?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Who do I contract with for a wraparound extension in Newtown?
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.
Is a wraparound better than a side return alone?
It adds far more space, but costs more and needs planning permission more often. Our comparison guide sets the two side by side.
Will I need to move a drain?
Often. Side returns frequently contain a manhole or a shared drain. Building near or over a public sewer needs the water company’s consent in England and Wales, which we arrange.
