Rear extension planning drawings in Whitburn

What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Whitburn?

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 Whitburn?

The planning route for a rear extension in Whitburn is set by Scotland's householder rules and your council.

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 Whitburn like to extend?

Post-war semis and terraces are common around Whitburn, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.
