Planning and approvals in Enniskillen
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.

Local to Enniskillen
Our survey diary covers Enniskillen, including BT74. Neighbouring towns we cover include Lisnaskea (12 miles).
For homes towards County Tyrone, Omagh is around 23 miles away. 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.
Included in a typical project
- Thermal calculations where glazing is generous
- Foundations, walls and insulated perimeter roof
- Heating sized for the glass area
- Aluminium or timber lantern and full-height glazing
The lantern-to-roof ratio sets the character. A wider solid perimeter gives a calmer, more room-like space and hides downlights and speakers; a bigger lantern feels brighter but needs more care against summer heat.

Questions people ask about orangery extensions
Do I need building regulations approval in Enniskillen?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Do you cover all of Enniskillen?
Yes. We cover Enniskillen and the surrounding parts of County Fermanagh. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.

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.
How much does an orangery cost?
Our guide range is about £2,060 to £3,870 per m² including VAT, so a 16 m² standard-spec orangery is typically £38,500 to £48,500 in Enniskillen.
Will an orangery be too hot in summer?
Not if it is designed with solar-control glass, a solid perimeter and ventilation. We size the lantern and opening vents with that in mind.
