Planning and approvals in Craigavon
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.
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.
Extensions in and around Craigavon
Postcode districts we cover around Craigavon include BT63, BT64, BT65, BT66. We also work in nearby Portadown (3 miles), Armagh (11 miles).
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.
When a wraparound extension makes sense
- Families who want kitchen, dining and living in one space
- Semi-detached houses with a side passage
- Terraced houses that want the largest ground floor possible
The corner is where wraparounds succeed or fail. We usually use a single steel goalpost or a corner post hidden in a pier, and set the glazing so the new room reads as one space rather than two boxes.

Wraparound extension questions answered
Do I need building regulations approval in Craigavon?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Will my neighbours in Craigavon 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 Craigavon?
Yes. We cover Craigavon and the surrounding parts of County Armagh. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
How much does a wraparound extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,720 to £3,180 per m² including VAT. A 25 m² standard-spec wraparound typically lands around £49,000 to £62,500 in Craigavon before design and council fees.
Is a wraparound better than a side return alone?
It adds far more space, but costs more and needs planning permission more often. Our comparison guide sets the two side by side.
