Planning rules that apply in Newry
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.
In a conservation area or area of townscape character the permitted development rights are more limited, listed homes need listed building consent, and if rights have been removed by a condition, any extension needs an application.
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.

What we take care of
- Full internal finish or kitchen-ready shell
- Survey, design and 3D layout options
- Structural design for the corner and openings
- Householder planning application
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.

Your questions about a wraparound extension in Newry
How long does a wraparound extension take to build in Newry?
On site, typically 14 to 20 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 8–16 weeks design and approvals.
Do I need building regulations approval in Newry?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Do you cover all of Newry?
Yes. We cover Newry and the surrounding parts of County Down. 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 Newry 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.
