Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Stirling?
Here is how the rules in Scotland apply to a bungalow rear extension in Stirling.
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 Stirling like to extend?
Stirling has sandstone tenements, terraced houses and villas closer in, with post-war semis and newer estates further out. Tenement and other flats need planning permission for an extension, and every project needs a building warrant before work starts.

FAQ
Bungalow rear extension questions in Stirling
Can you match the brick or stone on my Stirling house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
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.
Do you handle building control in Stirling?
Yes. We apply for the building warrant before work starts and submit the completion certificate at the end.
