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 Auchterarder?
Planning for a bungalow rear extension in Auchterarder 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. 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 Auchterarder like to extend?
Auchterarder has sandstone villas and terraces, post-war semis and four-in-a-block flats. Flats need planning permission for an extension, and every project needs a building warrant before work starts.

FAQ
Bungalow rear extension questions in Auchterarder
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Auchterarder?
Many single-storey rear extensions are permitted development under Class 1A, but not in conservation areas; you always need a building warrant before work starts.
Is the site visit in Auchterarder free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
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.
Who will build my extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
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.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Auchterarder house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
