Do you need planning permission for a house renovation in Llandrindod Wells?
Whether you need planning permission depends on your house and its location in Wales. In Wales internal renovation usually does not need planning permission unless the house is listed. Notifiable work must meet building regulations.
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies in Wales, so notices must be served before work on a shared wall, on the boundary, or excavation close to a neighbour’s foundations.
Our first visit includes a check of your planning history, so you know the route before paying for drawings.
