Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Magherafelt?
Whether your kitchen-diner rear extension in Magherafelt 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. 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 Magherafelt like to extend?
Semis and detached houses are typical of Magherafelt, and many have room for a rear extension within Northern Ireland's permitted development limits.
