Kitchen-diner rear extension in High Blantyre
For homes in High Blantyre, a kitchen-diner rear extension is often the simplest way to gain space without moving. An open-plan kitchen, dining and family room that opens straight onto the garden. We take it from survey to completion certificate.
High Blantyre and its postcode districts G71, G72 and ML3 are part of our Lanarkshire coverage. A kitchen-diner is often the reason people in High Blantyre extend: the back kitchen in sandstone villas, semis and four-in-a-block flats is rarely big enough for a table.

Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in High Blantyre?
Planning for a kitchen-diner rear extension in High Blantyre follows the Scottish householder rules.
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 High Blantyre like to extend?
High Blantyre 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.
