What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Tonypandy?
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 Tonypandy?
Whether your rear extension in Tonypandy needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
Welsh rules allow a two-storey rear extension without an application only where the ground floor is no deeper than 4 metres, the upper floor no deeper than 3 metres and at least 10.5 metres remains to the rear boundary. Most homeowners still apply for householder planning permission.
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 Tonypandy like to extend?
Tonypandy 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.
How a rear extension in Tonypandy comes together
Survey visit
We visit free of charge, measure up, check access, drainage and neighbours' extensions, and note what you want the room to do.
Options and costs
We draw layout options and price each one, so the budget shapes the design rather than surprising you later.
Paperwork handled
Planning or permitted development, Building Regulations approval, structural design and party wall notices are all handled by us.
Written price, then build
Once the design and approvals are in place, you get a fixed written price and programme, and we build through to sign-off.

We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.

Yes. We apply to the council or a registered approver under the Welsh regulations and hand over the completion certificate.
