Glazed rear extension in Stenhousemuir
For homes in Stenhousemuir, a glazed rear extension is often the simplest way to gain space without moving. Full-height glass, slim frames and big rooflights for the most open rear room. We take it from survey to completion certificate.
We cover Stenhousemuir (FK1, FK2 and FK5) as part of our Forth Valley work. Glass-led rear extensions in Stenhousemuir are planned around which way the garden faces, because that decides the glass specification.

Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Stenhousemuir?
Whether your glazed rear extension in Stenhousemuir needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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. 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 Stenhousemuir like to extend?
Stenhousemuir has sandstone villas and terraces, post-war semis and four-in-a-block flats. Flats need planning permission for an extension, and every project needs a building warrant before work starts.
