Planning and building rules for Cookstown
Northern Ireland's householder permitted development allows rooflights within limits — no more than 15 cm projection on road-facing slopes and a 0.5 m margin from ridge, eaves and party walls. Listed buildings also need listed building consent from the council.
For homes in Northern Ireland, Technical Booklet F1 sets 1.6 W/m²K (or WER Band C) for replacement glazing including rooflights. Extensions follow a 25% glazing allowance in Technical Booklet F1.

Pitched roof windows in Cookstown: questions
Can roof windows be electric?
Yes — electric and solar-powered models open by remote and many include rain sensors.
Do I need planning permission for a roof window?
Often not, under householder permitted development, provided it does not project too far above the roof plane and conditions are met. Listed buildings, flats and some conservation areas are different. Our planning guide covers each nation.
Will it need building regulations approval?
Fitting a new roof window usually involves cutting rafters and changing the thermal envelope, so building control approval (or, in England and Wales, a competent-person route) is normally needed. We tell you which applies.
Is the survey in Cookstown free?
Yes for new installations. Repair visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we book.
How do I book a survey in Cookstown?
Send your postcode and, if you can, a photo of the roof and the room. We offer a survey date when we reply.
