| 4 m wide × 5 m deep (20 m²) | £36,000–£59,000 |

Your written price follows a measured survey and an agreed design, so it reflects your house, not an average.
Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Dumfries?
Planning for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Dumfries 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. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development or a planning application, plus the building warrant.
What are homes in Dumfries like to extend?
Dumfries 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.
