Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Newry?
Whether your wraparound extension in Newry needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
In Northern Ireland side extensions that face a road, or go beyond permitted development limits, need planning permission from the council, and most wraparounds go through a planning application.
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?
