What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Ammanford?
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. These are guide ranges; the written quote after the survey is the figure that counts.
Do you need planning permission for a rear extension in Ammanford?
Planning for a rear extension in Ammanford follows the Welsh householder rules.
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 Ammanford like to extend?
Older terraces near the centre and post-war semis further out are typical of Ammanford. Sloping sites are common in Wales, so floor levels and retaining walls are designed at the start.
