Welshpool, Mid Wales
Wraparound extension in Welshpool
An L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. We design, get the approvals for and build wraparound extensions in Welshpool and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
Welshpool is covered from our Mid Wales round, including SY21. Wraparound projects around Welshpool often involve two neighbours, so we start the party wall conversations early.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Welshpool?
The planning route for a wraparound extension in Welshpool is set by Wales's householder rules and your council.
Welsh side-extension rules limit a single-storey side addition to 4 metres high and a 50% increase in the width of the original house, with tighter limits in conservation areas. Wraparounds usually need a planning application.
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 Welshpool like to extend?
Welshpool has Victorian terraces near the centre and semis further out. Welsh permitted development allows up to 4 metres at the rear for many houses.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Welshpool
What postcode areas do you cover around Welshpool?
Including SY21, and the surrounding Mid Wales area.
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
Can the corner be all glass?
Yes, with a steel or aluminium post or a structural glass corner. It needs careful thermal detailing to meet Building Regulations.
Do you handle building control in Welshpool?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered approver under the Welsh regulations and hand over the completion certificate.
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.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Welshpool house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
