Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Armagh?
Here is how the rules in Northern Ireland apply to a bungalow rear extension in Armagh.
In Northern Ireland the Planning (General Permitted Development) Order (Northern Ireland) 2015 allows a single-storey rear extension of up to 3 metres on an attached house or 4 metres on a detached house, no higher than 4 metres, with eaves no higher than 3 metres within 2 metres of a boundary. Building control approval from the council is still required.
Northern Ireland has no larger-extension prior approval route; anything beyond permitted development needs a planning application.
Conservation areas, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and listed buildings restrict permitted development in Northern Ireland. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development or a planning application.
What are homes in Armagh like to extend?
Armagh has terraces near the centre, semis on the edges and many detached houses and bungalows in the surrounding countryside, where plots are often generous.
How a bungalow rear extension in Armagh comes together
Survey visit
We visit free of charge, measure up, check access, drainage and neighbours' extensions, and note what you want the room to do.
Options and costs
We draw layout options and price each one, so the budget shapes the design rather than surprising you later.
Planning and regulations
We take the design through the right planning route, then produce the construction drawings and engineer's calculations for council building control.

A written price for the agreed design, a start date and a named contact through the build, ending with the building control completion certificate.

FAQ
Bungalow rear extension questions in Armagh
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
Can I extend the loft as well?
Sometimes, but that is a different project; a rear extension keeps everything on one level.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Armagh house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Armagh?
Often not for a single-storey rear extension of up to 3 metres (4 metres detached) under Northern Ireland's permitted development rules, outside conservation areas.
