What do rear extension planning drawings cost in Larkhall?
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 Larkhall?
Whether your rear extension in Larkhall 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 Larkhall like to extend?
Post-war semis and terraces are common around Larkhall, and many have room for a single-storey rear extension within Class 1A limits.

FAQ
Rear extension planning drawings questions in Larkhall
Do you handle building control in Larkhall?
Yes. We apply for the building warrant before work starts and submit the completion certificate at the end.
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
Can planning conditions affect the build?
Yes, for example matching materials or obscure glazing. We plan for them.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Larkhall house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.

Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
