What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Welshpool?
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. These are guide ranges; the written quote after the survey is the figure that counts.
Do you need planning permission for a rear extension in Welshpool?
Planning for a rear extension in Welshpool 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. 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 Welshpool like to extend?
Older terraces near the centre and post-war semis further out are typical of Welshpool. Sloping sites are common in Wales, so floor levels and retaining walls are designed at the start.
