Bungalow rear extension in Blantyre
We plan and build rear extensions for bungalows for homeowners in Blantyre. Single-storey rear extensions that keep everything on one level. Start with a free site visit, then a written price once the design is agreed.
We cover Blantyre (G71, G72 and ML3) as part of our Lanarkshire work. For Blantyre bungalows we design the roof first, because the low eaves decide the height of the new room.

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