| Other Approvals you may need |
As well as planning permission and Listed Building Consent there are other approvals and consents which may be needed - |
| BUILDING REGULATIONS |
You will probably have to submit plans to your local Borough or District Council to ensure that your proposals comply with the Building Regulations. You can find the address and phone number of your local Council in the phone book. |
| DEVELOPMENT AFFECTING ROADS |
When you apply for planning permission your application will automatically be considered by the Roads Service, an Agency within the Department for Regional Development. Even if you do not need planning permission but wish to make or alter an access to a road or do any work to a road or a footpath you will probably need the permission of the Roads Service. Roads Service is organised on a Divisional basis. There are currently four divisional offices throughout Northern Ireland and within each division there are a number of section offices. You can find the addresses and phone numbers of the Divisional and section offices under ‘Government’ in the phone book or your local planning office will be able to help. |
| WATER REGULATIONS |
The consent of the Water Service, also an Agency within the Department for Regional Development, may be needed for your plumbing and drainage proposals. If you wish to build an extension or garage over an existing sewer or drain, you will need the consent of the Water Service. The Water Service is also organised on a Divisional basis. There are currently four Divisional offices throughout Northern Ireland and within each Division there are a number of sub divisional offices and district offices. You can find the addresses and phone numbers of the Divisional, sub-divisional or district offices under ‘Government’ in the phone book or your local planning office will be able to help. |
