Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Dromore?
Whether your terraced house rear extension in Dromore needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
What are homes in Dromore like to extend?

FAQ
Terraced house rear extension questions in Dromore
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.
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
Will my terrace be in a conservation area?
Many Victorian terraces are. Your council's map shows it; we check at the survey.
