Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Omagh?
Planning for a glazed rear extension in Omagh follows the Northern Irish householder rules.
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.
Insulation and glazing follow Technical Booklet F1 in Northern Ireland, checked by council building control.
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?
