Choosing the right extension in Enniskillen

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.

Start by comparing bungalow extensions, side extensions and annexe extensions: between them they cover most of the layouts we see requested for houses like these.

Do extensions in Enniskillen need planning permission?

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

    First, a site visit: we look at the house, garden, access and drains and listen to what you need.

  2. Design and approvals

    Once the layout is agreed, we deal with the council: planning permission or written confirmation that none is needed, plus building control.

  3. Fixed written price

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

  4. Build and sign-off

    We build it with one project manager, book the building control inspections and hand over the completion certificate.
