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

FAQ
Kitchen-diner rear extension questions in Dalserf
Who will build my extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
What postcode areas do you cover around Dalserf?
Including ML8 and ML9, and the surrounding Lanarkshire area.
Should the sink face the garden?
If the plan allows, an island sink or hob facing the glass is a common choice. It needs a floor-level drain run, which is easy to lay in a new slab.
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.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Dalserf?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
Do you handle building control in Dalserf?
Yes. We apply for the building warrant before work starts and submit the completion certificate at the end.
