Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Cambuslang?
The planning route for a glazed rear extension in Cambuslang is set by Scotland's householder rules and your council.
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 Cambuslang like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Cambuslang, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.

FAQ
Glazed rear extension questions in Cambuslang
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 Cambuslang?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
Sliding or bifold doors?
Sliders give bigger panes and slimmer sightlines; bifolds open the whole width. Our guide compares them.
Do you handle building control in Cambuslang?
Yes. We apply for the building warrant before work starts and submit the completion certificate at the end.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Cambuslang?
Many single-storey rear extensions are permitted development under Class 1A, but not in conservation areas; you always need a building warrant before work starts.
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.
