Homes in Gwynedd and Anglesey
Housing in Wales ranges from terraced streets in the valleys and older industrial towns to stone-built homes in rural areas and modern estates around the cities.
What is an upward extension?
An upward extension adds a new storey on top of an existing house, most often turning a bungalow into a two-storey or chalet-style home. It can double the floor area without using any of the garden.
- Planning and building regulations checks under Welsh rules
- Roof removal and temporary weather protection
- New first-floor structure, walls and roof
What will an upward extension cost?

Do you need permission for an upward extension in Holyhead?
Welsh projects need planning clearance from the council under Welsh rules, building regulations approval under the Welsh approved documents, and party wall notices where the work affects a neighbour’s wall or foundations.
Adding a storey in Wales needs planning permission. We prepare the application with drawings showing how the new roofline fits the street.
What should Holyhead homeowners check first?
- Some bungalow foundations need strengthening before a storey can be added.
- Neighbours’ light and privacy are the main planning tests.
