Consents and safety: Northern Ireland
Grilles in rented homes
Private landlords in Northern Ireland have fitness and safety duties under the Private Tenancies (Northern Ireland) Order 2006, as amended by the Private Tenancies Act (Northern Ireland) 2022. Grilles over windows a tenant may need for escape should open from inside without a key.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Northern Ireland need listed building consent for works affecting their character, with the council deciding and the Department for Communities' Historic Environment Division advising. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes.
