Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Clydebank?
Here is how the rules in Scotland apply to a two-storey rear extension in Clydebank.
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. 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 Clydebank like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Clydebank, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Clydebank
Do you handle building control in Clydebank?
Yes. We apply for the building warrant before work starts and submit the completion certificate at the end.
Do I need a party wall agreement?
Scotland has no Party Wall Act; we agree access and protection with your neighbour in writing instead.
Is two-storey cheaper per square metre than single-storey?
Usually yes, because the foundations and roof are shared across twice the floor area. The total cost is higher.
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 I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
