What goes into a knock down and rebuild?

We assess whether rebuilding is better value than extending and renovating, prepare the planning application for the replacement dwelling, manage the demolition notice and asbestos survey, then build the new home. The process runs much like a new build once the old house is cleared.

Do you need permission for a knock down and rebuild in Haverfordwest?

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.

This needs full planning permission from your council in Wales.

What should I think about before starting?

  • Planning policy on replacement dwellings varies, especially in green belt and countryside.
  • Asbestos is common in post-war houses and must be removed by licensed contractors where required.

What are the steps?

  1. Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
  2. Site visit. We walk the plot or existing house, look at access, levels, services and boundaries, and talk through what could be built.
  3. Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
