Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Ballymena?
Whether your wraparound extension in Ballymena needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
Northern Ireland's rules restrict side extensions more than rear ones, so a side infill or wraparound usually needs a planning application to the council as well as building control approval.
There is no Party Wall Act in Northern Ireland; we agree any work affecting a shared wall or boundary directly with the neighbour, in writing.
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 Ballymena like to extend?
Semis and detached houses are typical of Ballymena, and many have room for a rear extension within Northern Ireland's permitted development limits.
