Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Cookstown?
Here is how the rules in Northern Ireland apply to a wraparound extension in Cookstown.
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. 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 Cookstown like to extend?
Semis and detached houses are typical of Cookstown, and many have room for a rear extension within Northern Ireland's permitted development limits.
