Planning and regulations for Derry homes
If your property in Derry is listed, in a conservation area or on an estate with planning conditions, Derry City and Strabane District Council is the authority to check with before ordering.
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.
