Kitchen-diner rear extension in Peterhead
We plan and build kitchen-diner rear extensions for homeowners in Peterhead. An open-plan kitchen, dining and family room that opens straight onto the garden. Start with a free site visit, then a written price once the design is agreed.
Peterhead sits in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, with postcode districts including AB42. A kitchen-diner is often the reason people in Peterhead extend: the back kitchen in post-war semis and terraces is rarely big enough for a table.

Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Peterhead?
Planning for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Peterhead follows the Scottish householder rules.
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.
Scotland has no larger-extension prior approval route; extensions beyond permitted development need a planning application.
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 Peterhead like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Peterhead, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.

FAQ
Kitchen-diner rear extension questions in Peterhead
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 Peterhead free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Where does the cooker extraction go?
Through the new wall or roof, ducted to outside. Recirculating hoods are possible but less effective.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Peterhead house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Peterhead?
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.
