What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Newry?
As a guide, £1,000–£2,500 including VAT for a single-storey rear extension, or £2,000–£3,500 for a two-storey scheme. Planning fees in Northern Ireland are set by the Department for Infrastructure; we confirm the current householder fee when we submit. Ground conditions, glazing, the roof and how far the house is opened up move the final figure within the range.
Do you need planning permission for a rear extension in Newry?
The planning route for a rear extension in Newry is set by Northern Ireland's householder rules and your council.
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.
Northern Ireland councils work to a 15-week target for local applications, which include householder extensions; many householder decisions come sooner.
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 Newry like to extend?
Semis and detached houses are typical of Newry, and many have room for a rear extension within Northern Ireland's permitted development limits.

FAQ
Rear extension planning drawings questions in Newry
Who will build my extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
Are the drawings mine?
You can use them to get other quotes, subject to the terms.
Do you handle building control in Newry?
Yes. We apply to the council's building control team and hand over the completion certificate.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Newry house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Do I need a party wall agreement?
Northern Ireland has no Party Wall Act; we agree any shared-wall work with your neighbour in writing.
