    Hi

    Does anyone know if you can build an extension to a semi detached house without planning permission ?

    Thinking of extending on top and bottom of house, would appreciate any experience on it

    Basic details re exempted development for extending house can be found here


    Im not sure what you mean by "top and bottom". Are you talking about the attic and basement?

    There are loads of other similar threads here if you wanted to use the search function.

    By top and bottom I meant the ground and first floor, not just a conservatory style

    Mick, have you got a fear of planning? why not go a chat with a local arch or arch tech to advise you on what is acceptable without requiring planning.

    the most obvious exemption limits are max 12 sq m on first floor and max 28 sq m on ground floor. there are other limits which are linked to above.

    however there may also be restrictions within the planning conditions for the estate itself. some estates were granted permission with a condition stating that no exempted development could apply.

    OK Mick fare enough, it was how you phrased the question
    Does anyone know if you can build an extension to a semi detached house without planning permission ?
    simple answer, Yes.

    its the first floor extension that suggests to me you need to speak to a professional

    so to answer this question, Yes planning is often required for 'this kind of work' or at the very least it is best that you speak
    with a local arch or arch tech to advise you on what is acceptable without requiring planning.
    or if you prefer read and determine the planning requirements your own from http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/2001/en/si/0600.html#sched2
