Do you need planning permission in Ayrshire?
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.
Classes 1A and 1B do not apply in conservation areas, and listed buildings need listed building consent.
