Rear extension planning drawings in Greenock

What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Greenock?

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 Greenock?

Planning for a rear extension in Greenock follows the Scottish householder rules.

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. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.

What are homes in Greenock like to extend?

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

How a rear extension in Greenock comes together

1. Look round and measure

   A free visit to see the back of the house, measure it, check the drains and boundaries and hear what you need.

2. Options and costs

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

3. Approvals

   Permitted development check or planning application, then building warrant drawings and structural calculations, plus a written agreement with neighbours for any shared-wall work.

4. Fixed price and build

   A written price for the agreed design, a start date and a named contact through the build, ending with the accepted completion certificate.
