Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Clydebank?
Whether your glazed rear extension in Clydebank 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. 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 Clydebank like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Clydebank, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.

FAQ
Glazed rear extension questions in Clydebank
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.
What postcode areas do you cover around Clydebank?
Including G60 and G81, and the surrounding Glasgow and the Clyde area.
Can I have a level threshold?
Yes, with a drainage channel outside the doors and the slab set to the patio level.
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.
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.
