What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Pontypool?
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. Your written price follows a measured survey and an agreed design, so it reflects your house, not an average.
Do you need planning permission for a rear extension in Pontypool?
The planning route for a rear extension in Pontypool is set by Wales's householder rules and your council.
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. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development or a householder planning application.
What are homes in Pontypool like to extend?
Pontypool is largely terraced streets on sloping ground, where back gardens step up or down from the house. Excavation, retaining walls and drainage are priced at the survey.

FAQ
Rear extension planning drawings questions in Pontypool
Can you match the brick or stone on my Pontypool house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Do you handle building control in Pontypool?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered approver under the Welsh regulations and hand over the completion certificate.
Can I see the design in 3D?
Yes; we produce simple 3D views so you can judge the size and light.
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 Pontypool?
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.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Pontypool?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
