Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Aberystwyth?
Whether your wraparound extension in Aberystwyth needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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 Aberystwyth like to extend?
Aberystwyth 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 Aberystwyth
How long does a rear extension take to build in Aberystwyth?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
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.
Will it take a lot of garden?
Less than a deep rear extension of the same area, because part of the space comes from the side passage.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Aberystwyth?
Often not for a single-storey rear extension of up to 4 metres under Welsh permitted development. Wales has no prior approval route for deeper extensions.
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 Aberystwyth house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
