Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Kirkintilloch?
Here is how the rules in Scotland apply to a two-storey rear extension in Kirkintilloch.
Scottish Class 1B rights for extensions of more than one storey need a 10 metre gap to every boundary, which few gardens have. Expect a planning application as well as a building warrant for a double-storey rear extension.
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 Kirkintilloch like to extend?

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Kirkintilloch
Can you match the brick or stone on my Kirkintilloch house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
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.
What is the 45-degree rule?
Many councils check that a two-storey extension does not cross a 45-degree line drawn from the nearest habitable window of the neighbouring house. We test it at the first drawing.
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.
