What does it cost in West Wales?
As a guide, £1,000–£2,500 including VAT. 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 in West Wales?
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.
