What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Nigg?
As a guide, £1,000–£2,500 including VAT for a single-storey rear extension, or £2,000–£3,500 for a two-storey scheme. Planning and building warrant fees in Scotland are set nationally and by value of work; we confirm both before submitting. We put a fixed price in writing once the design is agreed, and explain any provisional sums such as foundations.
Do you need planning permission for a rear extension in Nigg?
Planning for a rear extension in Nigg follows the Scottish householder rules.
Scottish Class 1B rights for extensions of more than one storey need a 10 metre gap to every boundary, which few gardens have. Expect a planning application as well as a building warrant for a double-storey rear extension.
Scottish councils aim to decide householder applications within two months; the building warrant runs alongside.
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 Nigg like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Nigg, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.

FAQ
Rear extension planning drawings questions in Nigg
Can you match the brick or stone on my Nigg house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Do I need a party wall agreement?
Scotland has no Party Wall Act; we agree access and protection with your neighbour in writing instead.
Can planning conditions affect the build?
Yes, for example matching materials or obscure glazing. We plan for them.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Nigg?
Many single-storey rear extensions are permitted development under Class 1A, but not in conservation areas; you always need a building warrant before work starts.
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.
