Do you need planning permission for a side return extension in Armagh?
Planning for a side return extension in Armagh follows the Northern Irish householder rules.
In Northern Ireland side extensions that face a road, or go beyond permitted development limits, need planning permission from the council, and most wraparounds go through a planning application.
Northern Ireland has no Party Wall Act. Shared-wall work relies on agreement with your neighbour and the general law, so we put access and protection arrangements in writing before starting.
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 Armagh like to extend?

FAQ
Side return extension questions in Armagh
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
Do you handle building control in Armagh?
Yes. We apply to the council's building control team and hand over the completion certificate.
Glass roof or solid roof with rooflights?
A glass roof gives the most light; a solid roof with long rooflights is warmer and quieter in rain. Both work.
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.
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.
