Glazed rear extension in Larkhall
Glazed rear extension in Larkhall: full-height glass, slim frames and big rooflights for the most open rear room. We measure the house, show you what the rules allow, price it in writing and build it.
We cover Larkhall (ML9) as part of our Lanarkshire work. 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 Larkhall?
Whether your glazed rear extension in Larkhall 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. 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 Larkhall like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Larkhall, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.

Does glass need planning permission?
