What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Glenrothes?
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. These are guide ranges; the written quote after the survey is the figure that counts.
Do you need planning permission for a rear extension in Glenrothes?
Whether your rear extension in Glenrothes needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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. 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 Glenrothes like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Glenrothes, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.

FAQ
Rear extension planning drawings questions in Glenrothes
Is the site visit in Glenrothes free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
What postcode areas do you cover around Glenrothes?
Including KY6 and KY7, and the surrounding Fife area.

You need accurate drawings by someone who knows householder planning; we provide them.

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.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Glenrothes house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
