Choosing the right extension in Banbridge

In Northern Ireland, extension projects follow the NI planning rules and council building control, which we account for from the first survey.

For many houses here, side extensions, annexe extensions or single-storey rear extensions gives the most useful space for the budget.

Approvals for an extension in Banbridge

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.

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

    You receive a written, itemised price and programme. Nothing starts until you are happy with it.

  4. Build and sign-off

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