A lawful development certificate is not compulsory for permitted development, but it is the cleanest proof that the extension was lawful when you come to sell. We usually recommend one.
Planning and approvals in Craigavon
In Northern Ireland we check the permitted development limits for your house type and, where needed, apply to your council for planning permission, then submit full plans or a building notice to council building control.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
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.
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.
Applications are decided by your council, which handles local planning in Northern Ireland.

Common questions in Craigavon
How long does this take for a Craigavon home?
8–13 weeks typical decision period, depending on the council and the complexity of the project.
Will my neighbours in Craigavon be involved?
If a planning application is needed, the council notifies neighbours. Where work is close to a shared boundary, we agree access and protection with them in writing.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Craigavon, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
What happens if planning is refused?
You can revise the design and reapply, or appeal. We read the officer’s report and tell you honestly which option has a better chance.
