Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Tonypandy?
Here is how the rules in Wales apply to a wraparound extension in Tonypandy.
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. 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 Tonypandy like to extend?
Stone terraces along the valley floors and post-war semis higher up are typical of Tonypandy. Sloping sites are common, so floor levels and retaining walls are designed at the start.

What postcode areas do you cover around Tonypandy?

Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.

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.
