Planning rules for Ystalyfera
In Wales a single-storey rear extension can often be permitted development if it projects no more than 4 metres beyond the rear wall and is no more than 4 metres high. Wales has no prior approval route for deeper extensions, so anything bigger needs a householder planning application.
In Wales a rear extension needs Building Regulations approval through the council or a registered approver, and is built to the Welsh Approved Documents, which differ from England's in places, including energy efficiency.
