Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Brechin?
The planning route for a bungalow rear extension in Brechin is set by Scotland's householder rules and your council.
In Scotland a single-storey rear extension can be permitted development under Class 1A: eaves no higher than 3 metres and an overall height of 4 metres, and where any part is within 1 metre of a boundary it can project no more than 3 metres on a terraced house or 4 metres on other houses. The rights do not apply in conservation areas, and a building warrant is still needed before work starts.
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 Brechin like to extend?
Brechin has sandstone villas and terraces, post-war semis and four-in-a-block flats. Flats need planning permission for an extension, and every project needs a building warrant before work starts.

FAQ
Bungalow rear extension questions in Brechin
How long does a rear extension take to build in Brechin?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
Will the roof look odd?
Not if the pitch and tiles match. Where the eaves are low, a flat-roofed section with a lantern is an alternative.
What postcode areas do you cover around Brechin?
Including DD9, and the surrounding Dundee and Angus area.
Do you handle building control in Brechin?
Yes. We apply for the building warrant before work starts and submit the completion certificate at the end.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Brechin house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
