Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Giffnock?
Whether your bungalow rear extension in Giffnock needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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 Giffnock like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Giffnock, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.

FAQ
Bungalow rear extension questions in Giffnock
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.
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.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Giffnock house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
