Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Dromore?
Whether your two-storey rear extension in Dromore needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
Northern Ireland's 2015 Order allows a two-storey rear extension of up to 3 metres where at least 7 metres is left to the rear boundary. Anything larger, or in a conservation area, needs a planning application to the council.
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 Dromore like to extend?
Dromore has terraces near the centre, semis on the edges and many detached houses and bungalows in the surrounding countryside, where plots are often generous.

Many councils check that a two-storey extension does not cross a 45-degree line drawn from the nearest habitable window of the neighbouring house. We test it at the first drawing.

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.
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.
