Planning rules for Cumbernauld

Scottish householder permitted development (Class 1A) covers many single-storey rear extensions, with a 3 metre eaves limit, a 4 metre height limit and, within 1 metre of a boundary, a depth limit of 3 metres for terraced houses or 4 metres for others. Conservation areas are excluded, and you need a building warrant whatever the planning position.

Scotland has no larger-extension prior approval route; extensions beyond permitted development need a planning application.

Scottish extensions are approved by building warrant, granted by the council's building standards team before work begins, with a completion certificate submitted when the work is finished.
