Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Strabane?
Here is how the rules in Northern Ireland apply to a kitchen-diner rear extension in Strabane.
Northern Ireland's permitted development rules allow a single-storey rear extension of 3 metres on terraced and semi-detached houses and 4 metres on detached houses, with a 4 metre height limit. Listed buildings, conservation areas and houses with removed rights need planning permission from the council.
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. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.
What are homes in Strabane like to extend?
Semis and detached houses are typical of Strabane, and many have room for a rear extension within Northern Ireland's permitted development limits.
