- Planning and building regulations checks under Welsh rules
- Staircase and changes to the ground floor layout
- Full fit-out of the new rooms

What approvals does an upward extension need in Wales?
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.
Adding a storey in Wales needs planning permission. We prepare the application with drawings showing how the new roofline fits the street.
What can change the price or programme?
- The staircase takes space from the ground floor plan.
- Neighbours’ light and privacy are the main planning tests.
