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