How much does a glazed rear extension cost in Fraserburgh?
In Fraserburgh, our guide for a glazed rear extension is £2,660–£4,560 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. Prices in Scotland sit a little below our West Midlands baseline; building warrant fees and drawings are budgeted separately.

| 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²) | £32,000–£54,500 |
| 4 m wide × 6 m deep (24 m²) | £64,000–£109,500 |
These are guide ranges; the written quote after the survey is the figure that counts.
Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Fraserburgh?
Planning for a glazed rear extension in Fraserburgh follows the Scottish householder rules.
Scottish householder permitted development (Class 1A) covers many single-storey rear extensions, with a 3 metre eaves limit, a 4 metre height limit and, within 1 metre of a boundary, a depth limit of 3 metres for terraced houses or 4 metres for others. Conservation areas are excluded, and you need a building warrant whatever the planning position.
Insulation and glazing follow Section 6 of the Scottish Technical Handbook; the building warrant drawings show how the extension meets it.
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 Fraserburgh like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Fraserburgh, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.
