Do you need planning permission for a side return extension in Abergele?
The planning route for a side return extension in Abergele is set by Wales's householder rules and your council.
In Wales a single-storey side extension can be permitted development if it is no more than 4 metres high and the house ends up no more than 50% wider than the original. Many side return infills on terraced streets, and most wraparounds, go through a householder application.
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 also applies in Wales: two months' notice for work to a shared wall and one month for foundations dug close to a neighbour's building.
Conservation areas, National Parks and National Landscapes restrict permitted development in Wales, and listed buildings need listed building consent. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.
What are homes in Abergele like to extend?
Older terraces near the centre and post-war semis further out are typical of Abergele. Sloping sites are common in Wales, so floor levels and retaining walls are designed at the start.

FAQ
Side return extension questions in Abergele
Who will build my extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Abergele house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Is a side return permitted development?
Sometimes, as a side extension within the width and height limits, but not in conservation areas, and many terraces are in one.
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
