Do you need planning permission for a single-storey rear extension in Dromore?
Planning for a single-storey rear extension in Dromore follows the Northern Irish householder rules.
In Northern Ireland the Planning (General Permitted Development) Order (Northern Ireland) 2015 allows a single-storey rear extension of up to 3 metres on an attached house or 4 metres on a detached house, no higher than 4 metres, with eaves no higher than 3 metres within 2 metres of a boundary. Building control approval from the council is still required.
Northern Ireland has no larger-extension prior approval route; anything beyond permitted development needs a planning application.
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 Dromore like to extend?
Dromore has terraces near the centre, semis on the edges and many detached houses and bungalows in the surrounding countryside, where plots are often generous.

FAQ
Single-storey rear extension questions in Dromore
How long does a rear extension take to build in Dromore?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
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.
Is a flat roof or a pitched roof better?
A warm flat roof keeps the extension low under first-floor windows and suits a roof lantern; a pitched or lean-to roof gives a vaulted ceiling. Both last for decades when built properly.
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.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Dromore house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
