Planning and building rules in Llandrindod Wells

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.

Internal work like this does not usually need planning permission in Wales unless the building is listed. Building regulations approval is needed for the structural work.

What can change the price or programme?

  • Older houses can hide timber decay and damp, so we allow a contingency.
  • Living in during a full renovation is difficult; most people move out for part of it.

How does the project run?

  1. Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
  2. Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
  3. Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
  4. We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
