Do I need planning permission in Newtownards?
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.
The planning position for a specific Newtownards address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
Building close to a public sewer needs the agreement of NI Water, which we check during design.
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.

Who a conservatory replacement suits
- Older uPVC conservatories near the end of their life
- Conservatories that are too hot or too cold
- Homes where the conservatory sits unused
A replacement is a chance to rethink the shape. Many conservatories are oddly proportioned; for a similar cost the new room can often be squarer, wider or better connected to the kitchen.

Common questions in Newtownards
Who do I contract with for a conservatory replacement in Newtownards?
Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which designs and manages the project and the build teams who carry it out.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Newtownards, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Do you cover all of Newtownards?
Yes. We cover Newtownards and the surrounding parts of County Down. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Is it worth replacing a conservatory with an extension?
If the conservatory is unusable for much of the year, usually yes. A solid extension gives a heated room that counts as proper living space. Our guide range is about £1,590 to £3,010 per m² including VAT, including removal.
Does replacing a conservatory need planning permission?
A solid replacement is treated as a new extension, so it must meet the permitted development limits or get planning permission, and it always needs building regulations approval.
