When is a door oversized?

Planning and regulations for Limavady homes

Planning questions for homes in Limavady go to Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council. Most garage door swaps need no permission, but conservation areas and listed buildings are the exceptions.

Northern Ireland planning rules usually allow a replacement garage door in the same opening. Check with the council planning office first if the property is listed or in a conservation area.

Under the Windsor Framework, products placed on the market in Northern Ireland follow EU rules, so doors carry CE marking (with UKNI where a UK body assessed them). UKCA marking on its own is not accepted in Northern Ireland.
