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