Rear extension planning drawings in Newtownards

What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Newtownards?

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. We put a fixed price in writing once the design is agreed, and explain any provisional sums such as foundations.

Do you need planning permission for a rear extension in Newtownards?

Planning for a rear extension in Newtownards follows the Northern Irish householder rules.

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 Newtownards like to extend?

How a rear extension in Newtownards comes together

1. Free site visit

   We measure the house and garden, look at the back wall, drainage and boundaries, and talk through what you want from the space.

2. Options and costs

   We draw layout options and price each one, so the budget shapes the design rather than surprising you later.

3. Approvals

   Permitted development check or planning application, then building control drawings to the Northern Ireland Technical Booklets and structural calculations, plus a written agreement with neighbours for any shared-wall work.

4. Fixed price and build

   A written price for the agreed design, a start date and a named contact through the build, ending with the building control completion certificate.
