Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Alloa?
Planning for a bungalow rear extension in Alloa follows the Scottish householder rules.
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 Alloa like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Alloa, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.

FAQ
Bungalow rear extension questions in Alloa
Who will build my extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Alloa house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Do I need to move out?
Rarely; the opening into the bungalow is made late in the build.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Alloa?
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 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.
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
