Planning and building rules in County Armagh
Northern Ireland's permitted development rules allow a single-storey rear extension of 3 metres on terraced and semi-detached houses and 4 metres on detached houses, with a 4 metre height limit. Listed buildings, conservation areas and houses with removed rights need planning permission from the council.
Northern Ireland has no larger-extension prior approval route; anything beyond permitted development needs a planning application.
Northern Ireland's building regulations are administered by council building control teams, who approve the plans or a building notice and inspect the work through to completion.
There is no Party Wall Act in Northern Ireland; we agree any work affecting a shared wall or boundary directly with the neighbour, in writing.
Conservation areas, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and listed buildings restrict permitted development in Northern Ireland.
