What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Ebbw Vale?
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. We put a fixed price in writing once the design is agreed, and explain any provisional sums such as foundations.
Do you need planning permission for a rear extension in Ebbw Vale?
Planning for a rear extension in Ebbw Vale 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 Ebbw Vale like to extend?
Stone terraces along the valley floors and post-war semis higher up are typical of Ebbw Vale. Sloping sites are common, so floor levels and retaining walls are designed at the start.

FAQ
Rear extension planning drawings questions in Ebbw Vale
Can you match the brick or stone on my Ebbw Vale house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
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.
Are the drawings mine?
You can use them to get other quotes, subject to the terms.
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.
Do I need a party wall agreement?
In Wales, usually yes if the extension is on or near a shared boundary or close to a neighbour's foundations. We serve the notices.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Ebbw Vale?
Often not for a single-storey rear extension of up to 4 metres under Welsh permitted development. Wales has no prior approval route for deeper extensions.
