Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Newry?
The planning route for a bungalow rear extension in Newry is set by Northern Ireland's householder rules and your council.
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 Newry like to extend?
Newry has terraces near the centre, semis on the edges and many detached houses and bungalows in the surrounding countryside, where plots are often generous.

FAQ
Bungalow rear extension questions in Newry
How long does a rear extension take to build in Newry?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Newry house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Do I need to move out?
Rarely; the opening into the bungalow is made late in the build.
Do you handle building control in Newry?
Yes. We apply to the council's building control team and hand over the completion certificate.
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.
Who will build my extension?
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.
