What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Kilmarnock?
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. Ground conditions, glazing, the roof and how far the house is opened up move the final figure within the range.
Do you need planning permission for a rear extension in Kilmarnock?
Whether your rear extension in Kilmarnock needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
In Scotland an extension of more than one storey is only permitted development (Class 1B) if no part is within 10 metres of any boundary and it is no higher than the existing house, so almost every two-storey rear extension needs planning permission and a building warrant.
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. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
What are homes in Kilmarnock like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Kilmarnock, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.
How a rear extension in Kilmarnock 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.
Approvals
Permitted development check or planning application, then building warrant drawings and structural calculations, plus a written agreement with neighbours for any shared-wall work.
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.
