Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Coatbridge?
Here is how the rules in Scotland apply to a glazed rear extension in Coatbridge.
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 Coatbridge like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Coatbridge, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.

FAQ
Glazed rear extension questions in Coatbridge
Do you handle building control in Coatbridge?
Yes. We apply for the building warrant before work starts and submit the completion certificate at the end.
What postcode areas do you cover around Coatbridge?
Including ML5, and the surrounding Lanarkshire area.
Is a glass box a conservatory?
No. It is built to Building Regulations as part of the house, with insulated floor and roof, so it is usable all year.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Coatbridge?
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.
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.
