Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Enniskillen?
Whether your two-storey rear extension in Enniskillen needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
In Northern Ireland a rear extension of more than one storey can be permitted development if it projects no more than 3 metres and stays at least 7 metres from the rear boundary. Two-storey extensions in conservation areas, and most larger schemes, need planning permission from the council.
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 Enniskillen like to extend?
