In Northern Ireland, extension projects follow the NI planning rules and council building control, which we account for from the first survey.
Do I need planning permission in Banbridge?
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.

Questions people ask about pitched roof extensions
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Banbridge, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Do I need building regulations approval in Banbridge?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Will my neighbours in Banbridge 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.
How much does a pitched roof extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,590 to £3,010 per m² including VAT, a little more than a flat roof because of the roof structure and tiles.
Is a pitched roof better than a flat roof?
Neither is better in all cases. Pitched roofs blend with traditional houses and shed water quickly; flat roofs give more headroom and suit modern designs and lanterns.
