Two-storey rear extension in Scone

We cover Scone (PH1 and PH2) as part of our Perth and Kinross work. In Scone, a two-storey rear extension is worth comparing with the cost of moving once stamp duty, agents' and legal fees are counted.

How much does a two-storey rear extension cost in Scone?
For Scone we work from the Scotland rate: £1,710–£2,560 per square metre of new floor, including VAT, standard specification. Prices in Scotland sit a little below our West Midlands baseline; building warrant fees and drawings are budgeted separately.

| 3 m × 5 m footprint, two floors (30 m²) | £51,500–£77,000 |
| 4 m × 6 m footprint, two floors (48 m²) | £82,000–£123,000 |
Your written price follows a measured survey and an agreed design, so it reflects your house, not an average.
Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Scone?
Whether your two-storey rear extension in Scone needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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. 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 Scone like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Scone, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Scone
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Scone?
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 Scone free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
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.
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.
Do I need a party wall agreement?
Scotland has no Party Wall Act; we agree access and protection with your neighbour in writing instead.
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.
