Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Downpatrick?
Whether your bungalow rear extension in Downpatrick needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.
What are homes in Downpatrick like to extend?
Downpatrick has terraces near the centre, semis on the edges and many detached houses and bungalows in the surrounding countryside, where plots are often generous.

What postcode areas do you cover around Downpatrick?
Including BT30, and the surrounding County Down area.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Downpatrick house?

Yes: level thresholds, wider doors and a wet room are straightforward to design in.
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.

Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
Can I get a price without a visit?
