Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Dunfermline?
Planning for a bungalow rear extension in Dunfermline follows the Scottish householder rules.
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. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development or a planning application, plus the building warrant.
What are homes in Dunfermline like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Dunfermline, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.

FAQ
Bungalow rear extension questions in Dunfermline
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.
Do you handle building control in Dunfermline?
Yes. We apply for the building warrant before work starts and submit the completion certificate at the end.
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.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Dunfermline?
Many single-storey rear extensions are permitted development under Class 1A, but not in conservation areas; you always need a building warrant before work starts.
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
Do I need a party wall agreement?
Scotland has no Party Wall Act; we agree access and protection with your neighbour in writing instead.
