Glazed rear extension in Dalserf
Full-height glass, slim frames and big rooflights for the most open rear room. We design, get the approvals for and build glazed and glass-box rear extensions in Dalserf and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
Dalserf sits in Lanarkshire, with postcode districts including ML8 and ML9. A wide sliding door with one long rooflight, rather than a fully glazed roof, keeps a glass-led extension usable in summer.

Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Dalserf?
Whether your glazed rear extension in Dalserf 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. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
What are homes in Dalserf like to extend?
Dalserf 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.
