Rear extension planning drawings in Portstewart

What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Portstewart?

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 Portstewart?

The planning route for a rear extension in Portstewart is set by Northern Ireland's householder rules and your council.

Northern Ireland's 2015 Order allows a two-storey rear extension of up to 3 metres where at least 7 metres is left to the rear boundary. Anything larger, or in a conservation area, needs a planning application to 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. 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 Portstewart like to extend?

Semis and detached houses are typical of Portstewart, and many have room for a rear extension within Northern Ireland's permitted development limits.

How a rear extension in Portstewart 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. Planning and regulations

   We take the design through the right planning route, then produce the construction drawings and engineer's calculations for council building control.

4. Build and sign-off

   We build to the approved drawings with regular updates, then hand over the building control completion certificate and any guarantees from suppliers.
