What are homes in Blackwood like to extend?
Stone terraces along the valley floors and post-war semis higher up are typical of Blackwood. Sloping sites are common, so floor levels and retaining walls are designed at the start.
Planning rules for Blackwood
The Welsh Government's householder rules let many homes add a single-storey rear extension up to 4 metres deep and 4 metres high without a planning application. Deeper projects go through a householder application, because Wales has no prior approval route.
Welsh building regulations apply to every rear extension. The council or a registered approver checks the work against the Welsh Approved Documents and issues a completion certificate.
