Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Westhill?
The planning route for a bungalow rear extension in Westhill is set by Scotland's householder rules and your council.
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.
Classes 1A and 1B do not apply in conservation areas, and listed buildings need listed building consent. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.
What are homes in Westhill like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Westhill, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.
How a bungalow rear extension in Westhill comes together
Survey visit
We visit free of charge, measure up, check access, drainage and neighbours' extensions, and note what you want the room to do.
Options and costs
We draw layout options and price each one, so the budget shapes the design rather than surprising you later.
Approvals
Permitted development check or planning application, then building warrant drawings and structural calculations, plus a written agreement with neighbours for any shared-wall work.
Written price, then build
Once the design and approvals are in place, you get a fixed written price and programme, and we build through to sign-off.
