What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Clydebank?
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 Clydebank?
Here is how the rules in Scotland apply to a rear extension in Clydebank.
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 Clydebank like to extend?
Clydebank 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.

FAQ
Rear extension planning drawings questions in Clydebank
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Clydebank?
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.
Do you handle building control in Clydebank?
Yes. We apply for the building warrant before work starts and submit the completion certificate at the end.
Do neighbours get consulted?
Yes for a full application: the council writes to them or puts up a site notice.
Do I need a party wall agreement?
Scotland has no Party Wall Act; we agree access and protection with your neighbour in writing instead.
What postcode areas do you cover around Clydebank?
Including G60 and G81, and the surrounding Glasgow and the Clyde area.
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
