Do You Need Planning Permission for Cladding in Wales?

It depends on where you live and what the cladding looks like. Welsh Government guidance says permission is needed before cladding in a Conservation Area, National Park, Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or World Heritage Site.

Elsewhere, materials must generally be of similar appearance to the existing house to avoid an application.

On Gower? Gower is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so check before you plan any cladding. Read our Gower cladding guide.

We'll flag anything we spot at your survey, but your local planning authority has the final say. See our cladding service.
