What is a garden annexe?
A garden annexe is a single-storey building in the garden with its own living space, bathroom and often a kitchenette, used by relatives, older children or guests. Unlike a garden room, it is built as habitable accommodation with foundations, insulation and services.
How much does a garden annexe cost in Llandudno?
In Llandudno, a garden annexe typically costs £1,650–£2,600 per m² of floor area, including VAT at 20% (standard rate). For a typical 35 m² project that is roughly £58,000–£91,000. The guide for Llandudno reflects typical costs in Wales, roughly 8% below the UK-wide figure. Design, structural calculations and council fees are extra.

Do you need planning permission for a garden annexe in Llandudno?
Approvals for a garden annexe in Llandudno follow the rules for Wales. In Wales an annexe with sleeping accommodation usually needs planning permission; outbuildings under permitted development must be incidental to the house.
Building regulations in Wales are set by the Welsh Government. Approval comes from the council’s building control service or a registered building control approver, with inspections during the work and a completion certificate at the end.
At the survey we check your house’s planning history and any restrictions, and tell you which route applies.
What we handle
From survey to sign-off, the job normally involves:
- Electrics and heating
- Building control sign-off
- Kitchenette and shower room
- Glazed doors and windows
- Insulated walls and roof
- Planning drawings and application
How long does it take?
The build itself usually takes 10 to 16 weeks on site. Design and approvals come first and typically take 3 to 4 months, depending on the approval route.
