Architectural Designers on Anglesey
Anglesey is a special place to build, and a tricky one. Much of the island is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and the coast brings its own planning and weather challenges. As local architectural designers, we design extensions and conversions that suit island homes and stand the best chance with the council.
Planning in Anglesey
Isle of Anglesey County Council (Cyngor Sir Ynys Môn)
Anglesey's planning department takes the island's AONB status seriously, so size, height and materials matter more here than on the mainland. We design with that in mind, which is why we don't get the refusals that catch people out.
What makes Anglesey different
- •Large parts of the island are designated AONB, where extensions must sit quietly in the landscape.
- •Coastal exposure means materials and detailing have to cope with wind and salt — good design here is practical as well as pretty.
- •Many island homes are traditional stone or rendered cottages that reward a careful, sympathetic extension.

Anglesey questions
Is it harder to get planning permission on Anglesey?
The island's AONB status means stricter rules on how an extension looks and sits in the landscape. We design to those rules from day one, so refusals are rare.
Do island builds cost more?
Sometimes a little, because of getting materials and trades across. We tell you honestly up front so there are no surprises.
