Planning Permission in Wales

Wales has its own distinct planning system, separate from England, operating under Welsh planning legislation and policy. Planning Wales sets the national framework through Future Wales: The National Plan 2040, while the 22 principal local authorities handle planning applications and local development plans.

Whether you're planning an extension in Cardiff, a conversion in Swansea, or a new development in Gwynedd, understanding your local authority's specific requirements is essential. Use the interactive map above to find your local planning handbook.
