Working in Strabane
Postcode districts we cover around Strabane include BT82. The same team covers Omagh (16 miles), Cookstown (30 miles), all within easy reach.
Derry/Londonderry, in County Londonderry, is roughly 13 miles from Strabane and also on our list. 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.
Do I need planning permission in Strabane?
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 Strabane address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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.
