Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Hawick?
Whether your kitchen-diner rear extension in Hawick needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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 Hawick like to extend?
Hawick 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.
How a kitchen-diner rear extension in Hawick comes together
Survey visit
We visit free of charge, measure up, check access, drainage and neighbours' extensions, and note what you want the room to do.
Options and costs
We draw layout options and price each one, so the budget shapes the design rather than surprising you later.
Planning and regulations
We take the design through the right planning route, then produce the construction drawings and engineer's calculations for the building warrant.
Written price, then build
Once the design and approvals are in place, you get a fixed written price and programme, and we build through to sign-off.

FAQ
Kitchen-diner rear extension questions in Hawick
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.
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.
Where does the cooker extraction go?
Through the new wall or roof, ducted to outside. Recirculating hoods are possible but less effective.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Hawick house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Hawick?
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 I need a party wall agreement?
Scotland has no Party Wall Act; we agree access and protection with your neighbour in writing instead.
