Planning rules that apply in Pontypool
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.
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 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 Pontypool
Who do I contract with for a wraparound extension in Pontypool?
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.
Do I need building regulations approval in Pontypool?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
How long does a wraparound extension take to build in Pontypool?
On site, typically 14 to 20 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 8–16 weeks design and approvals.
How much does a wraparound extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,860 to £3,440 per m² including VAT. A 25 m² standard-spec wraparound typically lands around £53,000 to £67,500 in Pontypool before design and council fees.
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.
