What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Blantyre?
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 Blantyre?
Whether your rear extension in Blantyre needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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 Blantyre like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Blantyre, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.
