Understanding the area
Llandudno's Houses
Llandudno was laid out as a planned Victorian resort, and much of that original town is still standing. The streets behind the promenade are lined with tall terraces and villas, many of them built as hotels and guest houses, with high ceilings, bay windows and several floors of stairs. Craig-y-Don has rows of Edwardian and interwar family homes. West Shore is mostly bungalows and detached houses, and the roads that climb the Great Orme bring steep plots and tight access.
Renovating a period property means bringing it up to modern standards of comfort while respecting its character. Solid walls, original sash windows and decorative plasterwork all need thought, and opening up a layout built for a different century calls for proper structural design. We also extend and convert more modern homes across the town, where the questions are usually simpler: how to gain a bigger kitchen, another bedroom or a better link to the garden.
Plan with confidence
Planning and Consents in Llandudno
Planning applications in Llandudno are decided by Conwy County Borough Council, under Welsh planning rules and Welsh building regulations. A large part of the town centre and seafront is a conservation area and the town has many listed buildings, so changes to the outside of a property can be looked at closely. Some properties in Llandudno are also subject to estate covenants, which may mean that consent is needed from the estate as well as the council. Your deeds or your solicitor can confirm whether this applies to you.
This is general guidance only. Every property is different, so please check with the council or your designer before making firm plans.

Helpful answers
Frequently Asked Questions
A few useful things to know before planning building work in Llandudno. If you have another question, get in touch with us.
Which areas around Llandudno do you cover?
Llandudno, Craig-y-Don, West Shore, Deganwy, Llandudno Junction and the surrounding area. If you are not sure whether we cover your address, please ask.
My house is in the conservation area. Can I still extend or alter it?
That is a decision for the council. Conservation areas have tighter controls, and the design and materials usually matter more. We can talk through your ideas when we visit.
Do I need consent from an estate as well as the council?
Only if your property is subject to an estate covenant. Your deeds or your solicitor can confirm this.
Do you take on small jobs?
Our projects generally start from around £20,000. We fit kitchens, bathrooms, windows and doors as part of those larger projects.
