Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Bo'ness?
Whether your bungalow rear extension in Bo'ness needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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 Bo'ness like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Bo'ness, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits. For bungalows in Forth Valley, a rear extension is the usual way to add space without adding stairs.

FAQ
Bungalow rear extension questions in Bo'ness
How long does a rear extension take to build in Bo'ness?
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.
Can I extend the loft as well?
Sometimes, but that is a different project; a rear extension keeps everything on one level.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Bo'ness house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
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 planning permission for a rear extension in Bo'ness?
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.
