Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in East Kilbride?
Whether your glazed rear extension in East Kilbride needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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 East Kilbride like to extend?
East Kilbride 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.

FAQ
Glazed rear extension questions in East Kilbride
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.
Do I need a party wall agreement?
Scotland has no Party Wall Act; we agree access and protection with your neighbour in writing instead.
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.
Is the site visit in East Kilbride free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Do you handle building control in East Kilbride?
Yes. We apply for the building warrant before work starts and submit the completion certificate at the end.
