Bungalow rear extension in St Andrews
Bungalow rear extension in St Andrews: single-storey rear extensions that keep everything on one level. We measure the house, show you what the rules allow, price it in writing and build it.
We cover St Andrews (KY16) as part of our Fife work. For St Andrews bungalows we design the roof first, because the low eaves decide the height of the new room.

| 4 m wide × 6 m deep (24 m²) | £42,000–£68,500 |
These are guide ranges; the written quote after the survey is the figure that counts.
Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in St Andrews?
The planning route for a bungalow rear extension in St Andrews 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 St Andrews like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around St Andrews, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.
