House Extension Planning Swansea – SGW Planning

House extensions remain one of the most popular ways of creating additional living space without the need to move home.

Whether you are considering a rear extension, side extension, wraparound extension or loft conversion, understanding planning requirements at an early stage is important.

SGW Planning has been assisting homeowners with house extension projects since 1979 and regularly provides planning and architectural services throughout Swansea and South Wales.

Do House Extensions Require Planning Permission?

Not always.

Many extensions can be carried out under permitted development rights.

However, planning permission may still be required depending on:

• size,

• design,

• location,

• and previous development at the property.

Professional advice can help determine the most appropriate planning route.

What Will the Council Consider?
