Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Pontypridd?
Planning for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Pontypridd follows the Welsh householder rules.
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. 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 Pontypridd like to extend?

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 I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
Where does the cooker extraction go?
Through the new wall or roof, ducted to outside. Recirculating hoods are possible but less effective.
Is the site visit in Pontypridd free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
