Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Ebbw Vale?
Here is how the rules in Wales apply to a wraparound extension in Ebbw Vale.
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 Ebbw Vale like to extend?
Ebbw Vale is largely terraced streets on sloping ground, where back gardens step up or down from the house. Excavation, retaining walls and drainage are priced at the survey.
