Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Montrose?
The planning route for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Montrose is set by Scotland's householder rules and your council.
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 Montrose like to extend?

FAQ
Kitchen-diner rear extension questions in Montrose
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
Do you handle building control in Montrose?
Yes. We apply for the building warrant before work starts and submit the completion certificate at the end.
Where does the cooker extraction go?
Through the new wall or roof, ducted to outside. Recirculating hoods are possible but less effective.
What postcode areas do you cover around Montrose?
Including DD10, and the surrounding Dundee and Angus area.
Do I need a party wall agreement?
Scotland has no Party Wall Act; we agree access and protection with your neighbour in writing instead.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Montrose house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
