What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Bishopbriggs?
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 Bishopbriggs?
The planning route for a rear extension in Bishopbriggs is set by Scotland's householder rules and your council.
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. 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 Bishopbriggs like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Bishopbriggs, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.

FAQ
Rear extension planning drawings questions in Bishopbriggs
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Bishopbriggs?
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.
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.

Yes, for example matching materials or obscure glazing. We plan for them.
