Lanarkshire
Rear extension plans and planning applications in Lanarkshire
Measured survey, design options, planning drawings and the application, handled for you. We design and build rear extensions across Lanarkshire, from East Kilbride and Hamilton to Meikle Earnock, covering single-storey kitchen extensions, two-storey additions, side returns and wraparounds.
For East Kilbride homes we start with a measured survey, then draw options before anything is submitted. Lanarkshire 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.
What does it cost in Lanarkshire?
As a guide, £1,000–£2,500 including VAT. 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 in Lanarkshire?
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.
Classes 1A and 1B do not apply in conservation areas, and listed buildings need listed building consent.
Planning and building warrant fees in Scotland are set nationally and by value of work; we confirm both before submitting.
Scottish councils aim to decide householder applications within two months; the building warrant runs alongside.
