Rear extensions for bungalows in Newport and Monmouthshire

For bungalows in Newport and Monmouthshire, a rear extension is the usual way to add space without adding stairs. Older terraces near the centre and post-war semis further out are typical of Newport and Monmouthshire. Sloping sites are common in Wales, so floor levels and retaining walls are designed at the start.

Do you need planning permission in Newport and Monmouthshire?
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.
Conservation areas, National Parks and National Landscapes restrict permitted development in Wales, and listed buildings need listed building consent.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Can a bungalow extension be fully accessible?
Yes: level thresholds, wider doors and a wet room are straightforward to design in.
Will the roof look odd?
Not if the pitch and tiles match. Where the eaves are low, a flat-roofed section with a lantern is an alternative.
Can I extend the loft as well?
Sometimes, but that is a different project; a rear extension keeps everything on one level.
