Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Aberkenfig?
The planning route for a terraced house rear extension in Aberkenfig is set by Wales's householder rules and your council.
The Welsh Government's householder rules let many homes add a single-storey rear extension up to 4 metres deep and 4 metres high without a planning application. Deeper projects go through a householder application, because Wales has no prior approval route.
In Wales, as in England, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 requires notice to neighbours before work to a shared wall or excavation near their foundations.
Conservation areas, National Parks and National Landscapes restrict permitted development in Wales, and listed buildings need listed building consent. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
What are homes in Aberkenfig like to extend?
Stone terraces along the valley floors and post-war semis higher up are typical of Aberkenfig. Sloping sites are common, so floor levels and retaining walls are designed at the start.

FAQ
Terraced house rear extension questions in Aberkenfig
Do you handle building control in Aberkenfig?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered approver under the Welsh regulations and hand over the completion certificate.
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.
How do you keep the house clean?
Dust screens, floor protection and a single protected route through the house.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Aberkenfig house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Do I need a party wall agreement?
In Wales, usually yes if the extension is on or near a shared boundary or close to a neighbour's foundations. We serve the notices.
