Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Kirkintilloch?
Whether your kitchen-diner rear extension in Kirkintilloch needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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 Kirkintilloch like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Kirkintilloch, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.

FAQ
Kitchen-diner rear extension questions in Kirkintilloch
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.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Kirkintilloch house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Can I add a utility room?
Often. A narrow utility or boot room along one side keeps the washing machine out of the open-plan space.
Is the site visit in Kirkintilloch free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
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.
