Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Newry?
Here is how the rules in Northern Ireland apply to a terraced house rear extension in Newry.
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 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. 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 Newry like to extend?
Semis and detached houses are typical of Newry, and many have room for a rear extension within Northern Ireland's permitted development limits.
How a terraced house rear extension in Newry comes together
Survey visit
We visit free of charge, measure up, check access, drainage and neighbours' extensions, and note what you want the room to do.
Options and costs
We draw layout options and price each one, so the budget shapes the design rather than surprising you later.
Approvals
Permitted development check or planning application, then building control drawings to the Northern Ireland Technical Booklets and structural calculations, plus a written agreement with neighbours for any shared-wall work.
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.

FAQ
Terraced house rear extension questions in Newry
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.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Newry?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
How do you keep the house clean?
Dust screens, floor protection and a single protected route through the house.
Can I live at home while the extension is built?

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.
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.
