What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Omagh?
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. These are guide ranges; the written quote after the survey is the figure that counts.
Do you need planning permission for a rear extension in Omagh?
Planning for a rear extension in Omagh follows the Northern Irish householder rules.
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. 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 Omagh like to extend?
Semis and detached houses are typical of Omagh, and many have room for a rear extension within Northern Ireland's permitted development limits.
