Planning permission for house extension

    Firstly, apologies if there have been loads of similar threads, I've had a look and couldn't find anything!

    I am hoping to buy a house, it's 1930's build and the original house has never been extended. Can I extend up to a certain % of the existing floor area without planning permission? If so, what is this %?

    Parking is also an issue here. On the road, a lot of the houses have knocked down the garden wall to create parking for two cars. Would this need planning as well? If so, any ideas how long the process could take?

    Loads of questions I know, any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    In general you can extend to to 40 sq.m without planning permission. There are other conditions also, such as remaining garden area that may reduce your max area.

    The garden wall will need planning, it will take 8 weeks from lodging with thw PA

    Thanks Mellor.

    Is there a website that I can refer to for conditions of extending or do I need to contact An Bord Pleanala?

    look at your local authority site

    they usually have an faq page specifically on exempt development

    Contact your councils website, most have the conditions up, as does www.environ.ie
