Towns in County Fermanagh
Will the council need to approve it?
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 County Fermanagh address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
In Northern Ireland building control is run by the councils under the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland). We submit full plans or a building notice and book the inspections through to completion.
Building close to a public sewer needs the agreement of NI Water, which we check during design.
Applications are decided by your council, which handles local planning in Northern Ireland.
When a double-storey extension makes sense
- Homeowners who would otherwise consider moving
- Growing families who need a bedroom as well as a bigger kitchen
- Houses with enough distance to the rear or side boundary
