Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Bishopbriggs?
Planning for a two-storey rear extension in Bishopbriggs follows the Scottish householder rules.
In Scotland an extension of more than one storey is only permitted development (Class 1B) if no part is within 10 metres of any boundary and it is no higher than the existing house, so almost every two-storey rear extension needs planning permission and a building warrant.
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 Bishopbriggs like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Bishopbriggs, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Bishopbriggs
Is the site visit in Bishopbriggs free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Bishopbriggs house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Will we need to move out?
Rarely. The first-floor opening is made late in the job and sealed with temporary screens.
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.
Do you handle building control in Bishopbriggs?
Yes. We apply for the building warrant before work starts and submit the completion certificate at the end.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Bishopbriggs?
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.
