Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Mayfield?
Planning for a glazed rear extension in Mayfield follows the Scottish householder rules.
In Scotland a single-storey rear extension can be permitted development under Class 1A: eaves no higher than 3 metres and an overall height of 4 metres, and where any part is within 1 metre of a boundary it can project no more than 3 metres on a terraced house or 4 metres on other houses. The rights do not apply in conservation areas, and a building warrant is still needed before work starts.
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. 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 Mayfield like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Mayfield, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.

FAQ
Glazed rear extension questions in Mayfield
Do you handle building control in Mayfield?
Yes. We apply for the building warrant before work starts and submit the completion certificate at the end.
How much does a glazed rear extension cost in Mayfield?
As a guide, £2,660–£4,560 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. For example, 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²): about £32,000–£54,500 at that rate. Your written price follows the survey.
Does glass need planning permission?
The same rules apply as any rear extension; glass does not change the depth or height limits.

Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Mayfield house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Is the site visit in Mayfield free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
