Building rules in Causeway Coast and Glens
In Northern Ireland, structural work comes under the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 and is approved by the local council's building control. For Causeway Coast and Glens that is Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council. We submit a full plans application or building notice before work starts and book the inspections.
Northern Ireland has no Party Wall Act, so there is no statutory notice to serve. Where the steel bears into a shared wall, the title deeds and the general law apply, and agreeing the work with your neighbour in writing first is good practice.
