What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Pontypridd?
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 Pontypridd?
Here is how the rules in Wales apply to a rear extension in Pontypridd.
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 Pontypridd like to extend?
