Do you need planning permission for a single-storey rear extension in Omagh?
The planning route for a single-storey rear extension in Omagh is set by Northern Ireland's householder rules and your council.
Northern Ireland's permitted development rules allow a single-storey rear extension of 3 metres on terraced and semi-detached houses and 4 metres on detached houses, with a 4 metre height limit. Listed buildings, conservation areas and houses with removed rights need planning permission from the council.
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. 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 Omagh like to extend?
Omagh has terraces near the centre, semis on the edges and many detached houses and bungalows in the surrounding countryside, where plots are often generous. A single-storey rear extension in Omagh is mostly built from the garden side, so the house stays usable for most of the job.

FAQ
Single-storey rear extension questions in Omagh
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Omagh?
Often not for a single-storey rear extension of up to 3 metres (4 metres detached) under Northern Ireland's permitted development rules, outside conservation areas.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Omagh house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
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.
Do you handle building control in Omagh?
Yes. We apply to the council's building control team and hand over the completion certificate.
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.
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.
