Planning and building rules in Gwynedd and Anglesey

In Wales the planning rules, including what counts as permitted development, are set by the Welsh Government, and Welsh building regulations differ in places from England’s. We check both against your house before drawings are finalised, and handle party wall notices where needed.

We prepare applications to Welsh councils and check the Welsh permitted development rules, which differ from England's.
