Buying a site with full planning permission in Co Antrim

Emma and Mark McMullan bought a sloping site that ticked every one of their boxes, with the bonus of having full planning permission.

My parents had self-built the house they live in now, and I always had at the back of my mind the intention to do the same,” says Emma. “Mark is a quantity surveyor so there was nothing that daunting about deciding to build our own home.”
