Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Greenock?
Whether your bungalow rear extension in Greenock 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. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development or a planning application, plus the building warrant.
What are homes in Greenock like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Greenock, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits. For bungalows in Glasgow and the Clyde, a rear extension is the usual way to add space without adding stairs.

FAQ
Bungalow rear extension questions in Greenock
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 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 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.
