Rear extension planning drawings in Tranent

What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Tranent?

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. Your written price follows a measured survey and an agreed design, so it reflects your house, not an average.

Do you need planning permission for a rear extension in Tranent?

Whether your rear extension in Tranent 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 Tranent like to extend?

Tranent 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 rear extension in Tranent comes together

1. Free site visit

   We measure the house and garden, look at the back wall, drainage and boundaries, and talk through what you want from the space.

2. Options and costs

   We draw layout options and price each one, so the budget shapes the design rather than surprising you later.

3. 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.

4. 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.
