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

FAQ
Bungalow rear extension questions in Rutherglen
Do you handle building control in Rutherglen?
Yes. We apply for the building warrant before work starts and submit the completion certificate at the end.
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.
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.
Is the site visit in Rutherglen free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
What postcode areas do you cover around Rutherglen?
Including G72 and G73, and the surrounding Lanarkshire area.
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
