Rear extension planning drawings in Hamilton

What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Hamilton?

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. Your written price follows a measured survey and an agreed design, so it reflects your house, not an average.

Do you need planning permission for a rear extension in Hamilton?

Whether your rear extension in Hamilton needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.

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. 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 Hamilton like to extend?

Hamilton 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.

1. Free site visit

   We measure the house and garden, look at the back wall, drainage and boundaries, and talk through what you want from the space.

2. Design and guide price

   Two or three layout options with a guide price for each, so you choose the design knowing what it costs.

3. Paperwork handled

   Planning or permitted development, the building warrant, structural design and neighbour agreements are all handled by us.

4. Written price, then build

   Once the design and approvals are in place, you get a fixed written price and programme, and we build through to sign-off.
