Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Omagh?
Whether your bungalow rear extension in Omagh 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. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
What are homes in Omagh like to extend?
Omagh 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 Omagh
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.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Omagh?
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 I extend the loft as well?
Sometimes, but that is a different project; a rear extension keeps everything on one level.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Omagh?
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.
Do you handle building control in Omagh?
Yes. We apply to the council's building control team and hand over the completion certificate.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Omagh house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
