What is included in a garden annexe in Tonypandy?
We design annexes as permanent buildings with proper foundations, insulation and services, and we prepare the planning case showing how the annexe will be used as part of the main home. Connections for water, drainage and power are planned from the start.

How is a garden annexe approved in Tonypandy?
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.
In Wales an annexe with sleeping accommodation needs planning permission, usually with a condition tying it to the main house.
What can change the price or programme?
- The annexe normally has to remain part of the main household, not let as a separate home.
- Council tax treatment depends on who lives there; check with your council.
How does the project run?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
