Planning rules for Aberystwyth
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.
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.
