Planning and approvals in Limavady
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.
Homes in conservation areas, areas of townscape character and listed buildings have tighter rules, so we always check the property's status and planning history before design starts.
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.
Included in a typical project
- Kitchen-led layout planning before the drawings are fixed
- Kitchen fitting by our team or coordination with your supplier
- Extraction routes and ventilation for building regulations
- Roof lantern or rooflights positioned over the work zones
We start with the working triangle and the island, then set the doors, glazing and roof lights around it. Getting this order right avoids the classic mistakes: a sink against a blank wall, glare on the hob or a fridge blocking the garden view.
Covering Limavady

Just over the County Tyrone border, Strabane is about 24 miles away. In Northern Ireland, extension projects follow the NI planning rules and council building control, which we account for from the first survey.

Your questions about a kitchen extension in Limavady
Will my neighbours in Limavady 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.
Do you cover all of Limavady?
Yes. We cover Limavady and the surrounding parts of County Londonderry. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Who do I contract with for a kitchen extension in Limavady?
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.
Where should the island go?
Usually under the brightest part of the roof and away from the main walkway to the garden. We test two or three layouts on the plan before deciding.
How much does a kitchen extension cost?
For the extension itself our guide range is about £1,550 to £3,010 per m² including VAT. A standard 20 m² kitchen extension is typically around £36,000 to £46,000 in Limavady, plus the kitchen itself, which commonly adds £9,000 to £20,000 for a mid-range design.
