Planning rules that apply 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.
The planning position for a specific Limavady 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.

Questions people ask about orangery extensions
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Limavady, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
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.
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 Limavady.
What is the difference between an orangery and a conservatory?
An orangery has a solid roof perimeter with a central lantern and more solid wall, so it is warmer and more like a room. A conservatory is mostly glass. Building regulations treat a heated orangery joined to the house as an extension.
