Do you need permission for bathroom installation in Porthcawl?
Planning decisions in Wales are made by the local council, using permitted development rules set by the Welsh Government rather than England’s. Building regulations in Wales have their own approved documents, and the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies to work on shared walls and boundaries.
Bathroom refits do not need planning permission; building regulations rules for electrics and ventilation apply.
What should Porthcawl homeowners check first?
- Wet rooms need a fall to the drain and full waterproofing.
- Moving a toilet depends on the soil pipe route.
