Choosing the right extension in Craigavon

Northern Ireland's housing ranges from city terraces to large numbers of detached houses and bungalows on rural plots, many in render, where single-storey extensions fit easily.

The types we would usually look at first for a home in Craigavon are annexe extensions, single-storey rear extensions and bungalow extensions, depending on the garden and how the house is laid out.

Planning and building control in Craigavon

In Northern Ireland the Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 lets some single-storey rear extensions go ahead without planning permission, up to 3 m on a semi-detached or terraced house and 4 m on a detached house, within height and boundary limits. Larger, side and two-storey extensions normally need planning permission from the council, and building control approval is separate.

In a conservation area or area of townscape character the permitted development rights are more limited, listed homes need listed building consent, and if rights have been removed by a condition, any extension needs an application.

Northern Ireland has no Party Wall Act. Where work is on or close to a shared boundary, we agree access and protection with your neighbour in writing before work starts.

Applications are decided by your council, which handles local planning in Northern Ireland.

  1. Free site visit

    A designer visits, takes measurements and photos, and discusses layouts, budget and timing with you.

  2. Design and approvals

    We draw the design, agree it with you and handle planning or permitted development checks and building regulations.

  3. Fixed written price

    The price is fixed in writing once the design is settled, with a clear programme and payment stages.

  4. Build and sign-off

    Our team builds the extension, keeps you updated weekly and finishes with building control sign-off.
