Rules that apply in Northern Ireland
Security rules for new homes
If you are building a new home in Northern Ireland, ask the council's building control service which security requirements apply. In existing homes nothing obliges you to upgrade glass, but laminated glass to BS EN 356 P1A in doors and in windows beside them is a common benchmark taken from guidance in Great Britain.
Planning permission
Planning in Northern Ireland is handled by the eleven councils, which decide whether a new or altered shopfront needs permission; changing the glass in an existing frame usually does not. Bollards or barriers on a public footway need consent from the Department for Infrastructure's roads service.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Northern Ireland need listed building consent from the council for works affecting their character, which can include historic glass and sash windows. The Department for Communities' Historic Environment Division advises on these cases. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of shopfronts and external changes.

Do I need permission to replace glass in County Armagh?
Replacing glass in an existing frame is usually treated as a repair. Safety glazing in critical locations is covered by Part V of the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012, and listed buildings may need consent. See the rules on this page.
What is the difference between laminated and toughened glass?
Toughened glass is stronger but breaks into small pieces and leaves an open hole. Laminated glass cracks but stays in the frame, which is why it is the choice for security.
Where does glass have to be safety glass?
In critical locations: glass in doors and in side panels near doors up to 1,500 mm from the floor, and other glass below 800 mm. Each UK nation sets this out in its own building guidance.
