What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Brecon?
As a guide, £1,000–£2,500 including VAT for a single-storey rear extension, or £2,000–£3,500 for a two-storey scheme. Planning fees in Wales are set by the Welsh Government; we confirm the current householder fee when we prepare the application. Ground conditions, glazing, the roof and how far the house is opened up move the final figure within the range.
Do you need planning permission for a rear extension in Brecon?
Planning for a rear extension in Brecon follows the Welsh householder rules.
In Wales a rear extension of more than one storey can be permitted development if the ground floor projects no more than 4 metres and the upper floor no more than 3 metres, with at least 10.5 metres to the rear boundary. It is not permitted development in conservation areas, National Parks or National Landscapes, so many double-storey schemes need a householder application.
Welsh councils aim to decide householder applications within 8 weeks.
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 Brecon like to extend?
Brecon has Victorian terraces near the centre and semis further out. Welsh permitted development allows up to 4 metres at the rear for many houses.

FAQ
Rear extension planning drawings questions in Brecon
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.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Brecon house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Do neighbours get consulted?
Yes for a full application: the council writes to them or puts up a site notice.
What postcode areas do you cover around Brecon?
Including LD3, and the surrounding Mid Wales area.
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.
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.
