Planning and approvals in Omagh
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.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
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.
Building close to a public sewer needs the agreement of NI Water, which we check during design.
Applications are decided by your council, which handles local planning in Northern Ireland.

Common questions in Omagh
Will my neighbours in Omagh 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 Omagh?
Yes. We cover Omagh and the surrounding parts of County Tyrone. 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 Omagh, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Can a utility have a toilet?
Yes, space permitting. A WC needs drainage and extraction, which we plan into the design.
Does a utility extension need planning permission?
Often not, if it is single storey and within permitted development limits. We check this for your property.
