Homes in West Glamorgan

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 does a double-storey extension involve?

Two-storey work has to sit comfortably with the house and the neighbours, so most of the design effort goes into the roofline, window positions and how the new first floor connects to the landing. We handle the planning application, the structural design and the building control process, then build, roof and finish both floors.

Do you need permission for a double-storey extension in Pontarddulais?

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.

Most two-storey extensions in Wales need householder planning permission from the council. We prepare and submit the application and deal with any questions from the planning officer.

What should Pontarddulais homeowners check first?

Side extensions close to a boundary are often set back or stepped down so they do not create a terraced effect.
The first-floor link can mean moving a bathroom or reshaping the landing.

Questions about a double-storey extension in Pontarddulais

Is a two-storey extension better value than a single-storey one?
