Kitchen-diner rear extension in Aberkenfig
Kitchen-diner rear extension in Aberkenfig: an open-plan kitchen, dining and family room that opens straight onto the garden. We measure the house, show you what the rules allow, price it in writing and build it.
We cover Aberkenfig (CF31, CF32 and CF35) as part of our South Wales Valleys work. For Aberkenfig kitchens we plan the extraction route and the island drainage before the slab is poured, so nothing has to be chased in later.

Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Aberkenfig?
Whether your kitchen-diner rear extension in Aberkenfig needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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.
Conservation areas, National Parks and National Landscapes restrict permitted development in Wales, and listed buildings need listed building consent. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
What are homes in Aberkenfig like to extend?
Stone terraces along the valley floors and post-war semis higher up are typical of Aberkenfig. Sloping sites are common, so floor levels and retaining walls are designed at the start.
