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.
Applications are decided by your council, which handles local planning in Northern Ireland.

Over-garage extension questions answered
Do you cover all of County Fermanagh?
Yes, across the whole of County Fermanagh. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for County Fermanagh, 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 County Fermanagh 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 my garage take the weight of a room on top?
Some can and some cannot. Many garages have a single-skin wall or shallow foundations. Our structural engineer checks this before we give a fixed price.
How much does a room over a garage cost?
Our guide range is about £1,550 to £2,920 per m² including VAT. A single-garage room of about 12 m² usually costs £21,500 to £28,000 at standard spec, more if the garage needs rebuilding.
