Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Kirkintilloch?
Here is how the rules in Scotland apply to a glazed rear extension in Kirkintilloch.
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 Kirkintilloch like to extend?

FAQ
Glazed rear extension questions in Kirkintilloch
Do I need a party wall agreement?
Scotland has no Party Wall Act; we agree access and protection with your neighbour in writing instead.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Kirkintilloch?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
Can I have a level threshold?
Yes, with a drainage channel outside the doors and the slab set to the patio level.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Kirkintilloch house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
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.
