Kitchen-diner rear extension in Meikle Earnock
An open-plan kitchen, dining and family room that opens straight onto the garden. We design, get the approvals for and build kitchen-diner rear extensions in Meikle Earnock and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
We cover Meikle Earnock (ML3 and ML9) as part of our Lanarkshire work. A kitchen-diner is often the reason people in Meikle Earnock 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 Meikle Earnock?
Planning for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Meikle Earnock 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. 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 Meikle Earnock like to extend?
Meikle Earnock 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.
