Bungalow rear extension in Carluke
Bungalow rear extension in Carluke: single-storey rear extensions that keep everything on one level. We measure the house, show you what the rules allow, price it in writing and build it.
Carluke sits in Lanarkshire, with postcode districts including ML8. For Carluke bungalows we design the roof first, because the low eaves decide the height of the new room.

We put a fixed price in writing once the design is agreed, and explain any provisional sums such as foundations.
Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Carluke?
Planning for a bungalow rear extension in Carluke 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. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
What are homes in Carluke like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Carluke, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.
