Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Neath?
Here is how the rules in Wales apply to a bungalow rear extension in Neath.
Welsh permitted development allows a single-storey rear extension of up to 4 metres in depth and 4 metres in height, subject to boundary and garden-coverage limits. There is no larger-extension prior approval scheme in Wales.
Conservation areas, National Parks and National Landscapes restrict permitted development in Wales, and listed buildings need listed building consent. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.
What are homes in Neath like to extend?
Older terraces near the centre and post-war semis further out are typical of Neath. Sloping sites are common in Wales, so floor levels and retaining walls are designed at the start.

Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.

Not if the pitch and tiles match. Where the eaves are low, a flat-roofed section with a lantern is an alternative.

Yes. We apply to the council or a registered approver under the Welsh regulations and hand over the completion certificate.
Who will build my extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Neath house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
