What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Cambuslang?
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 Cambuslang?
Planning for a rear extension in Cambuslang follows the Scottish householder rules.
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.
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 Cambuslang like to extend?
Cambuslang 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.

Including G73, and the surrounding Lanarkshire area.
